Common Causes of Trucking Accidents

There are very strict federal laws in place which restrict how and when commercial trucks can drive. They are expected to follow these laws to the letter for their own safety and the safety of other drivers. Most truck accidents are caused by preventable circumstances, such as driver inattention, drunk driving, or even breaking traffic laws. However, there are other situations that must be taken into account when representing a trucking accident, such as whether the trucking company was pressuring the driver to break laws during their shift.

A few of the other causes of trucking accidents include:

  • Driver fatigue
  • Truck malfunction
  • Improper driver training
  • Overloaded cargo
