Common Injuries Caused by Truck Accidents
Motorists who are involved in a truck accident suffer the same types of injuries as do victims of other motor vehicle accidents. However, the size and weight of trucks often result in more serious injuries, including paralysis, broken or dislocated bones or limbs, traumatic brain injuries and even death.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents happen for a variety of reasons, including:
Driver fatigue: Many truckers are paid for every mile that they drive, and that creates an incentive for drivers who are fatigued or otherwise unable to safely operate their truck to continue driving.
Driver negligence: Like all motorists, truck drivers may operate their vehicle in a manner that is not safe for the road conditions. For example, they may become distracted by their cell phone, they may have their attention diverted from the safe operation of their vehicle, or they may drive while intoxicated (DWI).
Defective trucks: A truck accident can occur if there is a defect in the truck that causes an accident. Common examples include faulty brakes or tires.
