Causes of Trucking Accidents
Truck crashes and other accidents are caused by a variety of factors, which include everything from driver negligence to product defect. Our firm handles a variety of trucking cases, including those involving:
- Defective breaks
- Improper cargo loading
- Driver negligence
- Lack of sleep
- Loss of the trailer
The trucking industry is heavily regulated regarding how much sleep a driver should have, how many hours a driver can drive, proper loading procedures, the weight of the cargo and more. When these regulations are not followed, the risk for accidents increases. Our firm is familiar with these federal regulations and is prepared to seek compensation from the appropriate party when failure to follow them causes personal injury or wrongful death.
