Common causes of truck accidents

Just like any other vehicle accident, the actions of passenger vehicle drivers can lead to commercial truck crashes. However, when we investigate these cases, we often discover that the negligence of semi-truck drivers or trucking companies plays a role. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and various state agencies are responsible for regulating truck driver in truck company activity. We often find that drivers and companies violate these regulations. It is not uncommon for us to discover a commercial or semi-truck collision was caused by a driver:

  • Failing to abide by the hours of service requirements
  • Operating while impaired by alcohol or drugs
  • Operating while distracted by a phone or another device
  • Purposely overloading the truck
  • Driving too fast for conditions
  • Failing to abide by traffic laws

Additionally, we also find that truck company and operators cause accidents by:

  • Failing to provide adequate training to new drivers
  • Failing to conduct background checks on new hires
  • Not properly inspecting or maintaining their vehicles
  • Encouraging drivers to ignore safety regulations such as weight requirements or hours of service requirements
