Causes of Truck Accidents
Most Common Causes of Truck Accidents
The injuries from truck accidents are often catastrophic and devastating. While trucking companies typically blame the victims for these accidents, the truth is that quite frequently it is the truck driver or trucking company that caused the accident.
Our Michigan truck accident lawyers have found the most common causes of a Michigan truck accident are the following:
- Fatigue, sleepy or tired drivers driving too many hours without rest;
- Truck drivers drinking alcohol or drug use;
- Running off the road;
- Failure to yield the right of way;
- Unsafe safety systems, reflectors, lights and other warning devices;
- Overloaded Truck;
- Oversized Truck;
- Lack of training on the part of the truck driver;
- Poorly maintained brakes on the Truck;
- Reckless driving;
- Driving in conditions of poor visibility due to smoke, fog, snow or rain;
- Poorly maintained tires;
- Speeding;
- Wide turns;
- Blind spots;
