Testa & Associates represents clients suffering from catastrophic head injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and amputations sustained in truck accidents. In order to ensure each case receives the attention and investigative resources it requires, our office is highly selective in choosing the cases it represents.

We prepare our cases for litigation, employing computer animation and simulation if necessary, as well as preparing day-in-the-life videos of our client in order to show jurors how our client's life has been irrevocably changed by a negligent truck driver.

Truck Accidents and Their Causes

The personal injury attorneys at Testa & Associates represents clients injured in truck accidents involving the following:

• Load shift
• Excessive speeding
• Driver fatigue
• Driving under the influence
• Wide turns
• Trucks improperly pulled over onto the shoulder
• Improper reflective markings on a truck
• Tailgating
• Failure to apply brakes
• Tire blowouts

Driver Fatigue and Drug Use -- Putting Others at Risk

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an estimated 20 to 40 percent of all truck accidents are caused by driver fatigue. Additionally, another study undertaken by the NTSB revealed that a third of truck drivers killed in truck accidents tested positive for drugs or alcohol. Because trucking companies train drivers in methods for denying responsibility for a wreck, it's important to work with an experienced truck accident lawyer who understands the importance of acting immediately to recover evidence, locate eyewitnesses, even request drug tests.
