Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Commercial trucking is federally regulated through the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Truck drivers and trucking companies must adhere to a strict set of rules and regulations applying to everything from hours of driver service to truck maintenance. These regulations are intended to increase safety among commercial truck operators. But even with these regulations in place, accidents still occur.

  • Driver fatigue
  • Drunk driving/impaired driving/prescription drug use
  • Distracted driving (cell phone use, texting while driving)
  • Driver error
  • Unqualified drivers/improperly trained drivers
  • Speeding/aggressive driving
  • Improperly maintained vehicle
  • Improperly secured loads
  • Unsafe equipment
  • Tire blowouts
  • Jackknifing
