Common Truck Accident Causes
Tractor-trailer and semi truck accidents can cause some of the deadliest collisions and traffic hazards, and can happen for any number of reasons, including:
- Road conditions
- Driver error
- Excessive speed
- Vehicle failure
- Fatigue
- Impairment due to drugs or alcohol
Trucking companies bear the heightened responsibility of protecting drivers on the road from dangerous tractor-trailer accidents. It is the company's responsibility to keep both the driver of the truck and other drivers safe.
Companies can fail by not enforcing safety measures and regulations such as:
- Restrictions on driving hours
- Driver background checks
- Drug testing
- Regular vehicle maintenance
