Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Large trucks—also known as tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, semi-trucks, big rigs, etc.—are the primary way goods are transported throughout the country. Despite taking a dip during the Great Recession, large trucking companies have never been stronger or more in demand than today. As a result, trucking industry practices have pushed drivers to haul for longer hours.

More drivers are getting fatigued due to lack of sleep and becoming a serious hazard on the road. Meanwhile, the trucking lobby keeps pushing back on federal safety boundaries, leading to more and more truck accidents. Truck accidents in the oil-and-gas industry are also a serious problem for workers, who are often the victims of their co-workers' negligence or lack of training.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Driving under the influence (DUI)
  • Unsecured loads
  • Inadequate driver training
  • Driver error, such as speeding
  • Improperly-weighted loads
  • Defective equipment manufacturing
  • Unqualified or unlicensed truck drivers
  • Insufficient vehicle maintenance

We can investigate the circumstances surrounding our clients' trucking crashes and hold responsible parties accountable for negligent behavior. Trucking companies and their insurers are responsible for the damage their drivers cause on highways. When industry practices lead to fatigued drivers and catastrophic accidents, it's only right that they pay for the victims' losses.

Fact: According to statistics provided by the FMCSA, 13% of truck crashes are directly caused by fatigue. 1 in 4 crashes happens after 17+ hours of driving without a break.

Injuries Caused by Big Rig Collisions

The most common injuries caused by truck accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Blunt force trauma
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures
  • Whiplash
  • Burn injuries

Commercial Vehicle Owner’s Responsibility

Companies are responsible when their drivers cause a crash. If the company driver caused a collision, it is the company’s responsibility to make things right with injured victims. However, victims don’t often get the compensation they should. When commercial vehicles cause collisions, most companies focus on protecting their own interests. One of the first things these companies will do is send their investigators to the scene to gather evidence against you.
