Common Causes Of Truck Accidents

  1. Poor vehicle maintenance
  2. Equipment failure
  3. Driver error
  4. Inclement weather
  5. Improper cargo loading

Even with the proper training, trucks are large and difficult to maneuver. The devastation caused by truck accidents is generally far more traumatic than that of smaller cars. Not only are there federal trucking regulations in place to protect traffic safety nationwide, but each state has its own set of trucking regulations as well. These regulations set parameters on truck size, weight, which routes they can take, how long the driver can drive continuously, and even how often they have to sleep.

There are several types of vehicles classified as large trucks. Some types of trucks include:

  1. Delivery trucks
  2. Tankers
  3. Semi-trucks
  4. Tractor trailers
  5. Service trucks
  6. Cement trucks
  7. Construction trucks
  8. Dump trucks

Common Injuries Associated With Truck Accidents

  1. Back and neck injuries
  2. Spinal cord injuries
  3. Head and brain injuries
  4. Rib injuries
  5. Internal trauma

Injuries sustained in a truck accident can be serious and persist for life. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, there are approximately 475 thousand crashes annually. Around four thousand truck accidents each year result in fatalities. Even with new traffic safety laws, CDL courses, and driver testing, accidents involving trucks have not significantly decreased.
