How truck accidents happen
A truck accident injury attorney ready to fight for you
Interstate commerce depends on commercial trucking. In turn, trucking companies are under pressure to deliver their cargo quickly and at low cost. This can lead to unethical practices such as:
- Overloaded trailers;
- Improper maintenance/inspection of vehicle brakes, turn indicators, and tires;
- Improper safety labeling of contents;
- Excessive speed resulting from unrealistic delivery schedules.
Additionally, an individual driver may undo a trucking company's efforts to maintain a safe fleet by their own misconduct, including:
- Sending and receiving text messages while driving;
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- Exceeding the speed limit;
- Not following established rules regarding number of hours behind the wheel during a given work week, leading them to fall asleep at the wheel.
