Most truck wrecks occur because of truck driver error. Truck drivers often hurry to get their deliveries completed as fast as possible. As a result, they can make careless or even reckless mistakes that can seriously harm you and other drivers.
The most common types of negligent errors include:
Although the trucker should be held responsible for their negligent driving mistakes, their employer might also be at fault. If you were hurt in a Tarpon Springs truck wreck, our diligent attorneys could review the evidence to determine which driving errors might have contributed to the crash.
Our Tarpon Springs attorneys could examine the evidence from your truck collision to determine if the trucking company is also to blame for your crash.
Trucking companies should make sure their employees safely operate their vehicles and should provide proper training for new drivers. The companies should also ensure their prospective new hires have safe driving records and should comply with federal guidelines when scheduling their workers’ shifts. A trucking company that explicitly or implicitly encourages its drivers to exceed federal hours of service limitations could be liable for any accidents caused by truck driver fatigue or other careless driving mistakes.
Trucking companies, truck drivers, and separate loading companies must ensure they load all cargo onto their trucks properly. When a truck’s weight is unevenly distributed, the truck could become unbalanced, which could make it harder to control. An unbalanced truck could veer out of its lane, tip over, or jackknife. If the truck is carrying hazardous material, the parties must take extra precautions.
Trucks should receive regular inspections and maintenance to ensure all parts are in proper working order. If a trucking company fails to inspect a truck before sending it out, a malfunctioning suspension system or other faulty part could lead to a crash.
If you are a trucking crash victim, our Tarpon Springs attorneys could carefully review the evidence to see if loading or maintenance problems led to your accident.
