Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Trucking accidents can be caused by many factors. Some of the most prevalent include:

• Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol
• Excess speed or reckless driving
• Improper maintenance of the truck in question
• Inadequate or improper truck driver training
• Overloaded and/or oversized trailers
• Road rage/overly aggressive driving
• Truck driver fatigue

What You Are Up Against

Trucking companies and their insurers are aware of the common causes of truck accidents, as well as the extensive damage truck collisions can cause. Consequently, they have investigative and damage assessment teams to defend themselves against claimants. It’s hard to believe, but while the victim is being transported to the hospital, they are already collecting evidence at the scene, interviewing witnesses, and working hard to mitigate their liability for the accident.
