Types of Truck Accidents

The unique characteristics of commercial trucks lead to catastrophic traffic crashes. Trucks are less maneuverable, require greater distance to stop, and produce blind spots for the truck driver. Commercial truck drivers are also under constant pressure to keep trucks moving – stopped trucks lose money for the trucking company. The pressure to keep trucks on the road often leads to exhausted drivers and worn out equipment. Common causes of truck accidents include:

Inadequate training of truck drivers
Poorly maintained brakes and lights
Driving in unsafe weather conditions
Poorly maintained tires
Speeding
Overloaded trucks
Oversized trucks
Improper turns
Blind spots
Driver fatigue
