Causes of Truck Accidents
Much like car accidents, there are a number of causes. However, some of the most common causes are:
- Fatigued drivers who violate work time regulations
- Unsecured cargo
- Drunk driving
- Cell phone use and distracted driving
- Improper truck maintenance
- Reckless driving
- Unskilled or improperly trained drivers
Depending on the circumstances of the case, we can seek compensation through the truck driver's insurance as well as the trucking company's insurance. This is often a viable strategy as trucking companies often reward trucks for breaking the rules in order increase profits. Sacrificing safety for profits is unacceptable and we will fight aggressively to hold them accountable for their actions.
In most cases, the minimum insurance policy for a semi truck is $750,000, compared to $30,000 for a typical car. We will work hard to make sure any verdict or settlement you receive covers all of your damages.
