Truck Accidents Lawyers You Can Trust!

Because of their large size and weight relative to passenger cars, commercial trucks have the potential to cause serious injuries and wrongful death when they’re involved in a crash. Trucks are also more difficult to maneuver, have larger blind spots, and require the driver to use mirrors to see what’s happening around them when changing lanes and making turns. Driving larger trucks requires extra skills and special training, above and beyond what is needed to drive a car.

Trucks range in size and purpose from the smaller van a plumber, electrician, or other technicians might drive to delivery trucks, tow trucks, garbage trucks, tanker trucks, and huge double-rigged semi-trucks. Some trucks have individual owners, while others belong to government entities, construction companies, or other corporations.

Causes of Truck Accidents

The most frequent cause of truck accidents is driver error. Drivers may become distracted, drive too fast or, fail to observe other cars, pedestrians, or bicycles on the road, drive when excessively tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, fail to use the parking brake on an incline, turn too sharply, or skip important maintenance.

Truck drivers are often expected to adhere to strict schedules. To meet demanding quotas, they are often under pressure to rush, resulting in speeding and inattention. Drivers often push themselves to spend more hours on the road, since time is money, which can result in fatigue. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations limit how many hours long-distance truckers can drive without a break.

Other federal regulations mandate truck maintenance and inspection procedures, the keeping of driving logs and other records, and the amount insurance coverage trucks must carry.
