Unique Fracking And Tanker Truck Roadway Hazards

Oil and fracking operations are very dangerous, and that includes the transportation of materials. Some common hazards include:

• Tanker liquid surge resulting in rollovers and other accidents
• Driver fatigue from 24-hour operations
• Large trucks/equipment traveling fast on narrow, steep roadways

These accidents can cause multi-vehicle pileups. A WV fracking truck crash attorney can determine the cause of the accident and hold the negligent parties responsible for your injuries.

Holding Energy Companies And Contractors Responsible

There may be several parties who are accountable for a commercial tanker truck crash in West Virginia, such as:

• The truck’s owner
• The driver
• The cargo loader
• The trucking company
• The maintenance company
• The manufacturer
• The oil or gas operating company

These parties work fast to remove or destroy evidence of the crash. You need to act quickly to preserve evidence of electronic logging records, digital telemetry data and truck inspection records. It may be just a matter of days before crucial evidence is lost or destroyed.
