Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can stem from a variety of causes, each requiring a thorough investigation to determine liability.
Common contributing factors include:
- Driver Fatigue: Extended hours on the road can impair a driver’s judgment and reaction time.
Improper Loading: Unbalanced or unsecured cargo may cause rollovers or loss of control. - Mechanical Failures: Defective brakes, worn tires, and other maintenance issues can lead to serious crashes.
- Inadequate Training: Operators lacking proper training may be unprepared for handling large commercial vehicles safely.
Determining the cause is a crucial step in any legal claim or defense. Our firm conducts detailed investigations to uncover the facts and clarify the responsibilities of all parties involved.
Multiple Parties May Be Liable
Unlike standard car accidents, truck accident cases often involve multiple parties who may bear legal responsibility.
Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:
- The Truck Driver: For negligence, distracted driving, or traffic violations
- The Trucking Company: For inadequate training, unsafe policies, or unrealistic schedules
- Maintenance Providers: For failure to properly inspect or repair vehicle components
- Manufacturers: For equipment or part defects that contributed to the crash
At Stephens Reed & Armstrong, PLLC, we carefully analyze contracts, employment records, maintenance logs, and crash reports to determine who should be held accountable and to what extent.
