Our Palm Beach truck accident lawyers regularly take on the largest trucking companies and their insurers to bring accident victims financial compensation and justice.
Truck Accidents Explained
Why you need a truck accident lawyer. Semi-trucks take skill and training to handle and drive safely. Sharing the road with semi-trucks is scary. We have all been in the situation where we are passing a truck or a truck is passing us on the interstate and we speed up or slow down to quickly get out of their proximity or blind spots with a full understanding that we are the little cars on the road. Besides ending up in a truck driver’s blind spot, other reasons for trucking accidents include:
- Truck drivers lack proper training and education to drive safely to avoid accidents.
- Truck drivers are often compensated based on the miles traveled. That means truck drivers pull long hours for increased pay. This requires lack of sleep and driving across state lines, which often results in drivers falling asleep at the wheel and causing deadly trucking accidents.
- Truck drivers may use illegal drugs and/or medication, both of which could impair the truck driver’s ability to drive and operate heavy machinery.
- Truck drivers may be driving distracted at the wheel. Texting, talking, eating, or even doing paperwork while driving on the freeway is a common cause of truck accident crashes.
- Trucks carry heavy loads and cargo. Sometimes the cargo is not loaded properly on the truck or is unstable causing an accident or resulting in the truck crash causing more damage than it would have if the cargo was loaded differently, or perhaps better.
