In cases where the driver was distracted, under the influence, or made an error- we can hold the driver accountable.
When the trucking company had unrealistic deadlines forcing the driver to skip breaks or if the driver was not properly trained, Hinkle Law can hold the trucking company accountable for damages after an accident.

The local or state government responsible for maintaining safe roads can be held liable if we can prove their malpractice caused the accident.

Due to their size and stopping power, commercial trucks are subject to speed restrictions that are stricter than those for smaller cars. If any truck goes above their state's speed limits, it can cause deadly accidents.
