Truck Accidents

While the trucking industry plays a massive role in the American economy, trucks pose an equally-sized risk to others on the road. Truck accidents are among the most severe and potentially deadly due to their size, especially when fully loaded.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Unfortunately, several common causes lead to truck accidents, which you or the truck driver can cause. Here are some of the top causes of truck accidents:

Driver fatigue

The grueling hours on the road tire drivers to a level that results in mistakes and falling asleep at the wheel.

Distracted driving

Like any other driver getting distracted, whether looking at a phone or away from the road for different reasons, truck driver distractions are a significant cause of accidents.

Alcohol and drugs

It is illegal to be under the influence of any alcohol or drugs and cause for revocation of a commercial trucking license. However, presence in a driver’s system has caused deadly Los Angeles truck accidents time and time again.

Speeding and overtaking

Tight deadlines often cause truck drivers to speed and drive in a way that leads to accidents.

Poor training

Not all truck drivers have the training to handle such a large and challenging load. Insufficient training, especially regarding weather and poor road conditions, can lead to deadly truck accidents.

Lack of maintenance

Just like cars and motorcycles, trucks require regular and extensive maintenance. Unintentional and neglectful maintenance can lead to accidents.

Improper cargo loading

Sloppy cargo loading, whether out of carelessness or rushing, leads to many accidents on California roadways.

If you or a loved one was involved in a truck accident caused by another driver's fault, it is important to seek legal help from one of our experienced truck accident attorneys in Los Angeles.
