Roll-over accidents are sometimes caused by the malfunction of air brakes or the negligence or inattention of the driver. In many cases the victims in the accident are small vehicle drivers or pedestrians.

Truck accidents can result in complex legal issues, including whether the truck was properly maintained, whether the truck driver maintained a driver’s log, whether the truck is owned and insured by a corporation or the driver themselves. These complicated legal issues typically require an attorney to sort through.
