  1. Top Reasons for Semi-Truck Accidents

  2. Trucking companies must abide by strict regulations and safety guidelines in order to ensure the safety of their drivers and all other motorists. Nonetheless, accidents do happen even to the most cautious trucking firm occasionally, whether these accidents are brought on by auto defects or driver error. Find out what happens after a trucking accident and where to go for help if a truck driver causes you harm while you are driving.

  3. Injury and Truck Accident Statistics One of the most frequent reasons for semi truck driver accidents is driver error. One of the most common mistakes committed by trucking businesses is the establishment of overly rigid deadlines that exhaust truck drivers. Traffic accidents may occur if a tired driver is unable to control a five-ton truck properly.

  4. Another cause in truck driver accidents is inadequate training. Failure by a trucking company to provide its drivers with the necessary training at a specialised trucking school may lead to unsafe driving blunders that harm other motorists.

  5. Excessive speed, driving while distracted (by texting, chatting on the phone, eating), inadequate truck inspections, uneven cargo, overloaded cargo, and a lack of safety maintenance are additional causes of semi truck accidents.

  6. After a Truck Accident When a truck driver hurts an innocent motorist or pedestrian on the road, certain steps are immediately performed. It is critical to be aware of these facts in case you are ever involved in such an accident. The trucking company will first dispatch their attorneys, investigators, and insurance adjusters to the accident scene without delay. They do this to collect statements (always decline to comment! ), discourage you from engaging counsel, and minimise the significance of your claim. Then, either directly or through their insurance adjusters, trucking companies will make every attempt to avoid paying the claim in the anticipation that the claimant will lose patience and give up.

  7. This is why if you are ever wounded in a car accident, you must contact a personal injury lawyer. If you do, your personal injury attorneys will arrive right away to investigate and gather evidence, including photos, black box data, and more, at the same location. They rebuild the accident using this body of data and evidence in order to replicate exactly what happened. As part of their investigation, they will look into the maintenance history of the truck, the driving history of the individuals injured in the truck accident injuries, and other factors. Any adjusters who try to minimise your claim are still met with hostility from them!
