Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can be deadly because of the sheer size and weight of the truck. When trucks collide with passenger vehicles, motorcycles, bikes, or pedestrians, the result is often catastrophic. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, you know full well just how dangerous these accidents can be. If you were injured, or if you lost a loved one in a truck accident, you probably know that you may have a valid personal injury claim on your hands. Only an experienced truck accident attorney who has handled cases involving big rigs and their insurance companies can advise you of your legal rights following a truck accident.
Trucking accidents can be caused by a number of things including:
- Cars failing to merge correctly, forcing a truck to maneuver or brake quickly
- Passenger vehicles changing lanes quickly in front of a truck
- Either trucks or passenger vehicles speeding
- Overloaded trucks
- Fatigued truck drivers
- Impaired drivers
- Inexperienced or inadequately trained truck drivers
- Larger blind spots
- Mechanical failures
- Unrealistic schedules and deadlines for truck drivers
If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a truck accident, you do have legal rights. Please contact an experienced truck accident attorney in your area today to schedule a no-cost, confidential consultation to discuss how to get the compensation you need and deserve following this tragic event.
