Uncovering Causes And Proving Liability
Truck accidents refer to any number of commercial vehicles – delivery trucks, semi trucks, box trucks and more. No matter the type of truck involved in the accident, there may be a number of contributing factors, including:
- Fatigue on the part of the truck driver (which may stem from safety violations such as driving more hours than legally permitted)
- Improper loading, such as unbalanced loads, which can cause tip-overs and loss of cargo
- Inadequate training or credentials on the part of the truck driver
- Intoxicated driving involving drugs, alcohol or prescription medications
- Speeding or driving too fast for the road conditions
- Defective mechanical parts such as brakes or tires
Because it can be difficult to trace these factors, it's critical to conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible after an accident. Evidence such as data from the truck's “black box” can go a long way toward proving liability.
