Ohio Attorneys for Garbage Truck Crash Victims
People are often surprised to learn that garbage trucks cause many accidents and injuries each year. However, if you were injured by a garbage truck or lost a loved one in an accident involving a garbage truck, you know how serious these incidents are. Although they usually move slowly, garbage trucks are large, heavy vehicles. It is not surprising that other drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists are injured by these trucks.
Contact us for a free consultation if you have been injured or lost a loved one in a garbage truck crash, or keep reading for more information on garbage truck accidents.
Any truck accident can be devastating. There are specific factors related to garbage truck accidents that require experienced legal representation, from whether the truck reverse lights and alarms were properly maintained to whether there was an appropriate number of people operating the truck for the type of environment. While most truck drivers are careful and safe, when a driver or the company chooses to put profits over your safety, they need to be held accountable. We help injured people do just that every day. —

Thorough Preparation: Key to a Fair Outcome
We prepare every case in anticipation of trial, even though most cases settle beforehand. This is often because the other side's insurance company would prefer to avoid the expense and exposure of trial and will make a fair offer in an effort to head off an appearance in court. We are known as Ohio attorneys who investigate thoroughly and employ technology effectively to argue on behalf of an injured client.
We consult with a wide range of experts who help us understand the details of our client's accident. We interview witnesses and reconstruct the accident. We work with physicians and other medical specialists to understand the full nature of our client's injuries and how they will affect his or her life and future. We leave no stone unturned in our efforts to build a strong case after any type of truck accident.
Causes of Garbage Truck Crashes
Garbage truck injuries are frequently caused by:
- Trucks backing up without warning alarms
- Trucks backing up without the driver checking behind the truck
- Manufacturer defects in the truck or equipment
- Failure to stop at a stop sign or red light
- Failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Debris falling out of the truck
- Speeding
- Distracted drivers
