Causes of Truck Accidents
Our Truck Accident Lawyers Will Fight Hard on Your Behalf
The size and weight of trucks puts a high demand on the driver's attention and observation of surrounding vehicles. Most are responsible and cautious; some, however, are not. They may fall asleep at the wheel, or they may send text messages while they drive. Sadly, there are many commercial drivers who cause truck accidents because they are driving drunk.
Fighting for the rights of truck accident victims
It is true that trucks are bigger than most other vehicles on the road, but that doesn't give truck operators any more rights than you have. Rely on an experienced lawyer who will advocate for you.
The causes of truck accidents frequently arise directly from the action of the driver. These may include:
- Inexperience with the items/type of trailer in tow
- Exceeding the speed limit, particularly in downhill stretches
- Failure to navigate turns without impeding on other lanes
- Backing into pedestrians or vehicles
