Truck Accidents

Truck drivers work long hours, face seemingly impossible deadlines and deal with tight, demanding schedules. Still, truck drivers have a responsibility, like other drivers, to operate carefully and follow guidelines to prevent harm to themselves and fellow motorists. If a truck driver is negligent in these efforts to prevent injury, he or she may be responsible for damage caused on the road.

Truck accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, including trucker fatigue. When truck drivers are fatigued, their judgment becomes impaired and their ability to evaluate their level of fatigue decreases. Unfortunately, this puts other drivers at risk for a dangerous trucking collision. In many cases, motor vehicle drivers suffer debilitating injuries after a truck accident, while truck drivers leave the scene with minor cuts and bruises.

Trucking companies can also be held responsible for accidents involving tractor trailers. For instance, if a trucking company does not properly inspect the vehicle, they may be held liable for any resulting injury or accident. Other common causes of truck accidents include:

• Reckless driving or speeding
• Failure to properly inspect the truck
• Overloaded trucks
• Failure to Yield
• Disobeying safety protocol
• Loads that shift weight
• Rushing to meet a deadline
• Inadequate training
