What Was the Cause of Your Truck Accident?
There are many ways in which negligence can lead to a truck accident. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Defective truck equipment: Trucking companies are legally obligated to maintain brakes, lights and other equipment on their trucks to make them safe for driving. Negligent maintenance is a major cause of 18-wheeler accidents.
- Overloaded trucks and unsecured loads: There are federal guidelines dictating proper loading and unloading standards for commercial trucks.
- Truck driver fatigue: We will examine driver logs, hotel receipts and other evidence to determine whether your accident was the result of driver fatigue.
- Drunk driving and drug abuse: Drug or alcohol abuse by a truck driver is a major cause of truck collisions. If your accident was the result of substance abuse, we will explain your legal options.
- Trucking company negligence: We will examine the hiring practices of the trucking company, truck maintenance records, and more as we search for examples of trucking company negligence.
