Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can be caused by various factors, often resulting from a combination of negligence, recklessness, or mechanical failures. Some common causes include:
Driver Fatigue: Long hours on the road can lead to fatigue, impairing a truck driver’s ability to react quickly and make sound judgments.
Speeding and Reckless Driving: Excessive speed and reckless maneuvers increase the risk of accidents, especially given the size and weight of trucks.
Improper Loading: Poorly loaded or unsecured cargo can lead to unbalanced trucks, causing them to tip over or jackknife.
Mechanical Failures: Neglected maintenance, brake failures, or other mechanical issues can contribute to accidents involving commercial trucks.
Distracted Driving: Distractions, such as texting or adjusting controls, can divert a truck driver’s attention from the road, leading to accidents.
