COMMON CAUSES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS
Many factors can contribute to truck accidents. The leading factors associated with large trucks and their drivers were identified in a study conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These factors include brake problems, prescription or over-the-counter drug use, traveling too fast for conditions, inadequate surveillance, and driver fatigue.
WHAT MAKES TRUCK ACCIDENTS SO DEADLY?
- By the laws of physics, occupants of passenger vehicles can suffer serious, catastrophic, or fatal injuries in a collision with a large commercial truck. A fully loaded 18-wheeler can weigh 80,000 pounds or more. The average passenger vehicle weighs 4,000 pounds.
- Big rigs are prone to jackknifing and rollovers – even more so when they are overloaded or improperly loaded, or when truckers speed or fail to brake properly. A large truck wreck blocking several lanes of a fast-moving highway can lead to multi-vehicle pileups.
- Semi-trucks and cargo trailers have a much higher ground clearance than passenger vehicles. Underride accidents can happen when a smaller vehicle hits the back or side of a truck and slides under the trailer. This type of collision can shear off the roof or crush the passenger compartment of a smaller vehicle.
