Do these stories sound all too familiar?

On November 21, 2008 a tractor-trailer on Interstate 81 in Virginia hit several other vehicles before it rear-ended a Ford Escort, killing a grandmother and two small children.
On November 24, 2008 a semi truck sideswiped an SUV in a criminal hit-and-run. The lucky Virginia woman in the SUV was not hurt but her vehicle was totaled. She was pregnant.
On December 1, 2008 a tractor-trailer hauling sand rammed several vehicles that were moving slowly past an accident on Virginia’s Interstate 95. The wreckage that ensued caused seven injuries and one death.

Located in Richmond and serving the whole of Virginia, the O’Bryan Law Firm represents the victims of crashes involving semis, heavy trucks, and tractor-trailers. Attorney Wayne O’Bryan has dedicated his life to serving people in their time of need.

According to an annual survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, transportation and material moving was the occupation sector with the highest number of US fatalities in 2007.

Trucking is a demanding and dangerous job, but it can be more dangerous for the people who share the road with heavy trucks.

The non-profit organization Road Safe America estimates that the occupants of cars make up 98 percent of the fatalities in collisions between heavy trucks and passenger cars.

Wayne O’Bryan is a lawyer who understands the damage a collision with a tractor-trailer can do, including:

Property damage
Injury
Brain Damage
Death

It is not your fault, but whose fault is it? The trucking company must bear the responsibility of exposing fellow-drivers to risk. You have a right to compensation for your losses.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration offers an Accident Countermeasures Manual to help transportation companies improve their safety records, and groups like Road Safe America have advocated for stricter regulations in the trucking industry. Still, every year heavy trucks cause major damages and injuries in wrecks caused by:

Fatigue
Stress
Dangerous road conditions
Mechanical failure
