Common Causes of Truck Accidents ∙
Illinois Tractor Trailer Crash Attorneys
Although there are many local, state and federal regulations that govern the trucking industry, there is very little actual enforcement. As a result, drivers and trucking companies rarely hesitate to cut corners in their efforts to meet delivery deadlines and carry more and more cargo. Too often, however, these profits come at the expense of innocent people.
Some of the more common underlying causes of truck accidents include:
Careless driving (driving while using a cell phone or texting, failing to signal a lane change or look carefully before changing lanes, etc.)
Reckless driving (tailgating, speeding, driving too fast for weather or road conditions, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, etc.)
Driver fatigue (drivers often skip government-mandated rest and sleep breaks)
Equipment failure, including brake failure (due to negligent truck maintenance)
Equipment failure, including tire blowouts (due to defective parts or components)
Driving an overloaded or improperly loaded truck
We handle serious injury claims of all types, including head, neck and back injury claims. We also handle accidents that involve other types of commercial vehicles, including delivery trucks, corporate automobiles, hotel shuttles, cargo vans, charter buses, school buses and taxi cabs.
