Unfortunately, all of this movement can sometimes lead to serious injuries for even the most cautious of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. At the Scanlan Law group, we have been helping the victims of transportation injuries to recover damages for more than 25 years, and we know what it takes to bring a transportation case to a successful conclusion.
Types of transportation-related accidents and injuries:
- Drivers of huge, over-the-road trucks are pressured by their companies to drive up to 100 hours a week, often in violation of state and federal trucking regulations, resulting in drowsy and dangerous drivers and sometimes horrific accidents.
- Poorly designed (and poorly driven) SUV’s can roll over and cause much more harm than regular passenger vehicles.
- Hazardous railroad crossings regularly give rise to tragic train-car collisions throughout the country.
- The decaying interstate highway system and resulting construction-related congestion result in thousands of serious crashes every year.
- A virtual epidemic of drivers operating their vehicles under the influence of alcohol and other drugs not only give rise to criminal cases for the perpetrators but also to injury and wrongful death lawsuits for victims and their families.
- Defective tires, airbags and other automobile-related defects injure and kill thousands each year.
- Aircraft and aviation-related injuries and fatalities, although fortunately not common, cause catastrophic losses for passengers, pilots and crew members.
