Werner Truck Accident Information

In the two years prior to December 3, 2008, Werner Enterprises, Inc. has been involved in 1,544 accidents, with 512 resulting in injury and 34 resulting in fatalities, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).¹

Examples of Werner Enterprises truck accidents include the following:

• Werner truck accident allegedly results in traumatic brain Injury and death. In Alabama, a Werner Enterprises truck was involved in a collision with a car in an intersection after allegedly running a red light. The Werner truck struck the car in the driver’s side door and pushed it across the intersection as it rolled. The driver was rendered unconscious by the impact.  The driver was extracted from his vehicle with the “Jaws of Life” and transported to the hospital.  Two days later the driver suffered severe swelling of the brain and died.  The driver’s family sued Werner Enterprises, Inc. under Alabama’s wrongful death statute (Moon v. Werner Enterprises, Inc.).²
  
• Werner truck driver allegedly sent computer message seconds before accident. In Pennsylvania, a Werner truck rear-ended a car that then crashed into another car.  The drivers of both cars burned to death.  An official investigation found the Werner truck driver was not to blame for the accident; however, an independent investigation of the accident allegedly found that the driver had been sending a message over his onboard messaging system just seconds before the accident.³  This Werner truck accident underscores the importance of independent investigations.  Our law firm always hires experts to independently investigate truck accidents.

Victims of truck accidents and their families need to be aware that truck drivers and trucking companies sometimes falsify documents, destroy documents, take evidence out of trucks that are involved in accidents (for example, laptops).  It is imperative to hire a truck accident lawyer as soon after an accident as possible to prevent the destruction of evidence.  By stating this, we are not implying that Werner Enterprises, Inc. or its drivers have or will perform illegal acts to avoid liability.
