Semi-Truck Overturns on I-44

080813_truckax.jpgEmergency crews were called to the scene of an overturned semi-truck the afternoon of August 13, 2008.  Apparently, the truck driver was making a left turn from eastbound Big Bend onto an entrance ramp of I-44.  While doing so, the truck flipped over.  Luckily, no one was injured in this accident.  However, this incident highlights a possible bigger problem.  As a Missouri truck accident lawyer, I often find that many times injuries are caused due to inexperienced drivers.  This is why we will often file suit not only against the defendant driver, but also the trucking company that hired the driver for negligent hiring and retention practices.  Many times, we find that the trucking companies will hire inexperienced drivers and do not adequately train them to drive a tractor trailer.  Even so, they still put them out on the road.  If you are searching for a St. Louis truck accident lawyer, make sure you find someone who is willing to go the distance, not only against the truck driver, but also the trucking company.  Luckily, no one was injured in this accident, unfortunately, that is not always the case.
