Driver fatigue, excessive speed are common causes of truck accidents in Ontario. Careful examination of records after an accident is important to protect your rights and determine the cause of the accident. 


When a serious accident involves a truck, it is not uncommon for the truck's insurance company to begin an immediate investigation.  This can include examining physical evidence, hiring experts and interviewing potential witnesses.  If you were injured because of a truck accident, it is important to speak with a lawyer early.  You will want to have someone working for you to collect vital information in order to prove your case.
