Causes Of Truck Accidents
For many people, driving on the same roads and highways as commercial trucks can be a bit intimidating. These behemoth motor vehicles take up large portions of the road and have to be driven with extreme care so that accidents can be avoided. Because semi-trucks and the like are so large, there are unique challenges that face truck drivers. They have to be extremely careful to change lanes because blind spots are larger, for one.
Many are involved in accidents with trucks because the truck changed lanes without seeing the vehicle next to it. Another factor that plagues truck drivers is fatigue. These drivers are under strict deadlines that put on the pressure to deliver their cargo on time. This means that they might, wrongfully so, neglect their mandated resting periods and fall asleep at the wheel.
Practically, trucks are more prone to accidents for a number of reasons. Their turning radius is wider, it takes a longer distance for them to stop and they are more prone to rollover accidents. If these drivers are not properly trained or were hired without a proper license, they are putting those on the road at great risk of injury. If you were involved in an accident with a commercial truck for any of the following or a related reason, we implore you to seek the help of a Kennesaw personal injury attorney at our firm.
