Common Causes of a Trucking Accident

Truck drivers have a legal obligation to abide by federal and state trucking regulations when on duty and to obey the rules of the road. Unfortunately, many truck drivers place other motorists at risk because they want to meet a deadline or accumulate more hours. The results of such negligent and reckless actions can be catastrophic. If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident that occurred as a result of the following, you may be eligible for financial compensation:

• Driving a commercial vehicle with inadequate or no training
• Driving over the speed limit or in a manner that is unsafe for the conditions
• Driver fatigue, which is often brought on by long hours on the road
• Improperly securing a load and overloading a truck or trailer
• Improperly maintaining the vehicle
• Reckless and generally unsafe driving
