In our many years of investigating truck accidents, we have come to discover a set of common causes, many of which are easily preventable.

Driver error: Truck drivers are under constant pressure to make unreasonable deadlines by trucking companies. Careless driving, speeding, driver fatigue and driving under the influence are often the consequences of these demands placed upon drivers.

Poor maintenance: Defective or worn parts can malfunction and lead to serious truck accidents. For example, tire blowouts or brake failure can result in a driver losing control and wreaking havoc on the vehicles and pedestrians around them.

Trucking company liability: Trucking companies are responsible for not only maintaining their vehicles and ensuring proper loading, but for adequately training their drivers. When these factors are overlooked, disaster can strike.
