How Truck Accidents Happen

Truck accidents can happen for many reasons, and negligence is often at the core. Whether caused by a truck driver’s error, poor maintenance, or other factors, truck accidents cause severe consequences for everyone involved. Our legal team can investigate your case closely to uncover exactly how the collision occurred.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver fatigue from excessive hours spent on the road without enough rest.
• Distracted driving, such as texting, adjusting controls, or using in-cab devices.
• Poor maintenance leading to brake failures, blown tires, or other mechanical issues.
• Improperly loaded cargo that shifts or spills in transit.
• Traffic violations like speeding, failing to yield, or unsafe lane changes.

Is the Trucking Company Liable for the Truck Driver’s Mistakes?

In many cases, trucking companies can be held liable for the actions of their drivers. Through a legal principle known as vicarious liability or respondeat superior, employers are responsible for their employees’ actions and mistakes that occur in the course of their job duties. Additionally, trucking companies have their own legal obligations, such as hiring qualified drivers, maintaining safe vehicles, and complying with federal regulations. When they fail to meet these obligations, they can be held directly responsible for accidents caused by their negligence.

Truck Accident Claim Compensation

Severe injuries often result from truck accidents due to the size and weight disparity between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. The more serious the injuries, the greater the need for full and fair compensation, too, because severe injuries need intense medical treatment and can prevent someone from working for months or years. The truck accident claims we handle consider the comprehensive impact on our clients physically, emotionally, and financially, aiming to provide for current and future losses.

Types of compensation available in a truck accident claim can include:

• Medical expenses: Covers emergency care, ongoing treatments, surgery, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
• Lost wages and future earnings: Compensates for missed work and diminished earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering: Addresses the physical pain and emotional trauma inflicted by the accident.
• Property damage: Covers the cost to repair or replace damaged vehicles and belongings.
• Punitive damages: Applies to rare cases when egregious negligence or intentional misconduct is involved.
