What Causes Trucking Accidents?

Almost all trucking accidents are preventable. They don’t occur if the trucking company, or those associated with the enterprise, meet the duty of care owed to the public.  If a trucking company, for example, fails to properly inspect and maintain the vehicles in its fleet, a part failure can cause an accident. At the heart of most serious truck accidents is human error.

• Truck driver negligence
• Texting and driving
• Drowsy driving
• Driving under the influence
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Unsafe lane changes
• Ignoring federal trucking regulations
• Improper tire installation or maintenance
• Inadequate lighting
• Failure to properly use the truck’s mirrors
• Poor fleet maintenance
• Lack of driver training
• Unsafe cargo loads
• Defective parts
• Dangerous roadways

In most situations, it is the trucking company who is responsible for accidents involving their drivers and rigs. Others who are often responsible include third-party drivers, product manufacturers, cargo loaders, or city roadway maintenance crews.

What Is Your Claim Worth?

Pursuing compensation through a personal injury claim can result in payment for all past and future expenses related to your truck accident. A successful lawsuit can yield financial recovery for medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, and property damages. A judge or jury may also award additional punitive damage if the defendant was grossly negligent or reckless. Our lawyers have obtained millions of dollars on behalf of clients.
