How Truck Drivers Cause Serious Accidents

Truck drivers are trusted with significant responsibilities to operate their vehicles safely. However, any amount of negligence behind the wheel of a big rig can lead to devastating accidents. When truck drivers fail to exercise proper caution, the consequences often result in severe injuries or fatalities, and it is only right for those affected to take legal action to set things right.

Types of truck driver negligence that might have caused your truck accident could be:

• Fatigue: Driving while tired or violating hours-of-service regulations.
• Speeding: Operating the truck above legal limits or driving too fast for road conditions.
• Alcohol or drug use: Driving under the influence of alcohol, prescription medication, or illegal substances.
• Distractions: Texting or using mobile devices, eating, or otherwise taking attention off the road.
• Improper inspections: Failing to conduct necessary pre-trip and post-trip vehicle checks.

We can thoroughly investigate the truck driver’s conduct to uncover any form of negligence that may have caused your accident. The foundation of your claim will likely be built upon the evidence that points toward the negligence or mistake in question.

How Trucking Companies Cause Truck Accidents

Under the legal doctrine known as respondeat superior, trucking companies can be held liable for accidents caused by their drivers while they’re performing job-related duties. However, trucking companies may also act directly negligent through unsafe practices that contribute to truck accidents. For these reasons, it is common for a trucking company to be a defendant in a truck accident claim, rather than an individual truck driver.

Examples of trucking company negligence that could be involved in your claim include:

• Overloading cargo: Ignoring weight limits or improperly securing loads.
• Negligent hiring practices: Employing drivers without verifying their qualifications or driving records.
• Unrealistic schedules: Pressuring drivers to meet tight deadlines, leading to fatigue or reckless driving.
• Maintenance failures: Skipping routine inspections or delaying necessary repairs.
• Lack of training: Failing to provide adequate training for specialized equipment or cargo types.

We Fight for Past & Future Damages

The damages you may recover in a truck accident claim include compensation for immediate losses as well as future costs associated with long-term injuries and hardships. Our Port Orchard truck accident lawyers can calculate these damages accurately, so you know that we pursue the full extent of your damages.

Examples of recoverable damages in a truck accident claim include:

• Past and future medical expenses: Covers emergency care, hospital stays, rehabilitation, surgeries, and ongoing treatments.
• Lost wages and earning capacity: Compensates for income lost during recovery and future earnings if you’re unable to work due to your injuries.
• Pain and suffering: Reflects the physical pain and emotional trauma caused by the accident.
• Property damage: Includes compensation for repairing or replacing your damaged vehicle or property.
• Wrongful death damages: For families who lost a loved one, compensation can include funeral costs, loss of companionship, and financial support.
