Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Establishing fault is a critical factor in any personal injury claim. Our lawyers will go the extra mile to identify the root cause of the accident, making sure that your case stands on a strong foundation. Often, the cause of a commercial truck accident can be attributed to one or more of the following factors:

• Distracted driving: In addition to common distractions like cell phones, a truck driver may have a monitor inside the cockpit for communication with the dispatcher. A trucker can easily suffer a lapse of attention due to these distractions, resulting in a crash.
• Poor maintenance: Any vehicle that sees a lot of use will be more subject to wear and tear, and trucks are no exception. Failures in brakes, wheels, tires, and suspension account for almost a third of trucking accidents.
• Negligent company practices: To cut corners on costs, trucking companies may engage in dubious practices such as overworking their drivers to the point of fatigue or hiring unqualified drivers, creating unsafe conditions for other motorists.

Who Can You Sue After a Truck Accident?

In a typical car accident, you can get compensated by going through the other driver's insurance company. Truck drivers are required to have auto insurance policies like any other motorist, but in a commercial truck wreck, you may be able to pursue compensation from the trucking company as well. Other liable parties may include maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or local governments that failed to maintain safe roads.

Proving liability is critical for getting the most compensation from a truck accident, and a personal injury attorney at Burress Injury Law can gather evidence to support claims of a trucking company's negligence. This proof can take the form of debris left at the scene of the accident, tire marks on the road, pictures of the truck demonstrating a lack of proper maintenance, video footage from security cameras or traffic cameras, or even logs from the company that show falsified hours or poor working conditions.
