Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions we get about truck accidents include the following:
- Why are truck accidents more likely to cause devastating property damage and catastrophic injuries?
There are several reasons for this, but the first two answers that come to mind are size and speed. These 18-wheelers are so much larger than any other vehicle on the road that a collision will likely result in total damage to the other vehicle. Additionally, truck drivers are paid based on delivery duration, so it is not uncommon to see trucks speeding or driving recklessly.
- What are some of the most common causes for truck accidents?
As stated before, truck drivers might have to rely on speed or reckless driving to make a delivery on schedule. In addition to that, several other factors can contribute to an accident, including aggressive driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, distracted driving, unsafe loads, defective safety equipment, unsafe lane changes, and driver fatigue.
