Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Some causes of truck-involved accidents are as follows:

• Fatigued driving: Truck drivers often maintain irregular hours or drive while sleepy, which can lead to dulled senses and reflexes akin to drunk driving.
• Nodding off at the wheel: If a truck driver is too fatigued, they may even fall asleep at the wheel, putting their lives and the lives of others in danger.
• Distracted driving: Distractions like texting, calling, and web browsing can cause accidents.
• Limited visibility: Due to their extended blind spots and higher position on the road, truck drivers may not see approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or animals.
• Speeding: Trucks that are speeding have an even more difficult time slowing down or stopping in response to situations that arise on the road.
• Drunk or drug-impaired driving: Driving under the influence limits your senses and reflexes, which can compound the already slow response times of trucks due to their weight.
• Road rage: Truck drivers can engage in road rage like any other driver, leading to high-risk behaviors and unsafe driving practices.
