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. Truck accidents frequently arise directly from the actions of the driver. These may include:

Inexperience with the items/type of trailer in tow
Driver was trying to send a text messagewhile driving
Exceeding the speed limit, particularly in downhill stretches
Operating a vehicle under the influence
Asleep at the wheel
Failure to navigate turns without impeding on other lanes
Backing into pedestrians or vehicles

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.
