Mr. Walsh had this to say about the event,” with the massive growth of the trucking industry our highways and roads have more heavy trucks than ever before. With new laws in the works to extend the allowable weight limit of heavy trucks from 80,000 pounds to 100,000 pounds the dangers that these enormous vehicles pose to motorists will only increase. The members of APITLA work tirelessly to protect the rights of those injured by negligent drivers and companies. The work we do to hold irresponsible trucking firms accountable is as important as ever. APITLA diffuses the knowledge and experience of veteran truck accident attorneys to new generations, and raises awareness of the safety issues these heavy trucks create for motorists on America's Highways.”
