Truck Accident Lawyer

When we hear about a truck accident, many times it is serious and fatal. Truck drivers are often on a tight schedule and spend a lot of hours on the road with very little sleep. Cars are no match for a semi- truck in an accident. Large commercial trucks can weigh up to twenty times more than a passenger car insuring that they will pulverize a smaller vehicle in a truck accident.

Victims of a truck accident are likely to be killed or suffer catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, spinal injuries, and loss of limbs.

Truck Accident Causes – Tractor Trailer & Semi-Truck Accidents

  • Trucks following too closely and, or tailing the car in front of them
  • Speeding
  • Driver exhaustion and fatigue
  • Drug use
  • Failure to follow signs or road rules
  • Failure to care for and provide maintenance on the trucks
  • Cargo shifting
  • Over-sized or too heavy cargo loads
  • Tire pressure low
  • Driver, or pilot error
  • Trucks too high and going under a bridge
  • Other truck accidents
  • Chemical truck accidents
  • Chemicals seeping in the ground and contaminating water
  • Explosions caused by the highly flammable chemicals that are being transported
  • Burns and other physical problems caused by chemical exposure

Some trucking companies are also purchasing GPS systems that are only meant for consumers and not truckers. Therefore, do not consider the size and weight of the truck when deciding the safest route. Trucks using consumer GPS systems are more likely to be involved in a truck accident where the bridge or overpass is inadequate.
