Medical professionals can make a number of mistakes when medications are involved. Beyond prescribing the wrong medication or not checking for conflicts with prescriptions, medical professionals can also injure you by prescribing the wrong dosage.
Montgomery Boulevard is one of the busiest roads in the Albuquerque area, and it often sees numerous types of serious truck crashes. There is heavy truck traffic on this road, and commercial vehicles are often the cause of crash injuries. Commercial truck drivers raise the risk of crashes on both highways and local roads in many ways.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence or failure to follow standard practices results in harm to a patient. You may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has been injured due to substandard medical care in Albuquerque.
Truck drivers must be absolutely perfect on the job because their vehicles are very large and complex. All it takes is a momentary mistake for them to cause a crash that can result in severe injuries. Truck drivers may make mistakes at practically any point behind the wheel.
Every day, drivers on New Mexico highways and roads must contend with large and dangerous vehicles. They never quite know whether the truck driver near them on the road is fully trained or even cares about their safety. The result of a general lack of care from the truck driver and their employer can be a serious crash that gravely injures you or a loved one.
Buchanan Law Firm, LLC secured a $3.4 million settlement for a client who suffered injuries after colliding with an illegally parked semi-truck at night on the highway.
Truck drivers must be specially trained and obtain a license to transport hazardous materials. The reason is that any crash involving dangerous chemicals can cause even more serious dangers and injuries. If you have been injured in a collision with a hazmat truck, you could be entitled to substantial financial compensation.
Commerce does not take a break for major holidays. Accordingly, large trucks are still on the road during the Thanksgiving holiday, when the highways are being used by people traveling to their destinations. Thanksgiving is already a dangerous enough time due to both the congestion and prevalence of drunk driving.
Black box data, recorded by an Electronic Control Module (ECM) or Event Data Recorder (EDR) in trucks, can play key roles in investigating truck crashes. They capture key operational metrics like speed, brake usage, engine performance, and safety system status.
