COMMON CAUSES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Very often, drivers of big trucks will try to flout the law as regards working hours, in order to boost their pay packets. If they are driving while tired, this can frequently be the cause of an accident. The laws are there for a reason, and if they try to beat the system and cause you injury as a result, it is only right that you should receive full compensation.
Common causes of truck accidents include:
Driver error (e.g. being under the influence, distracted driving, fatigued driving, reckless driving, etc.)
Improper vehicle maintenance
Equipment malfunction
Inadequate cargo loading (e.g. overloaded or improperly loaded cargo)
Furthermore, in many cases the trucking company may also be liable. The driver might have been exceeding his hours with the knowledge of the company, or the company might not have correctly serviced the truck, and/or it might not have been in compliance with federal or state standards. Negligence like this is often the cause of truck accidents in Dallas, and is something that our Dallas truck accident lawyers are trained to spot.
Manufacturers of the truck, tires, or other vehicle components could be responsible for an accident if the vehicle or parts were considered defective or faulty. When it comes to inadequate cargo loading, the shipper or loader of the cargo could be held liable.
