Understanding the Causes: What Leads to Devastating Truck Crashes?
Driver Fatigue
Distracted Driving
Exhausted drivers with insufficient rest often have slower reactions and impaired judgment, leading to crashes.
(e.g., cell phone use): Taking eyes or attention off the road increases the risk of collisions.
Speeding/Aggressive Driving
Excessive speed or reckless maneuvers make large trucks harder to control and stop.
Improper Loading/ Overloaded Cargo
Excessive speed or reckless maneuvers make large trucks harder to control and stop.
Inadequate Driver Training
Unprepared drivers may lack the skills to safely handle trucks in real-world conditions.
Impaired Driving (drugs or alcohol)
The Moore Law Firm advises that many truck accidents stem from preventable causes such as driver fatigue, distracted driving, and poor vehicle maintenance. They stress the importance of proper loading practices and caution on hazardous road conditions to help reduce the risk of serious collisions.
Substance use severely reduces a driver’s ability to operate a truck safely.
Adverse Road Hazards
Slippery roads, low visibility, or poor infrastructure raise the likelihood of accidents.
The Complexities of Commercial Truck Accident Claims: Why You Need Specialized Legal Expertise.
Unlike car accidents, truck accidents involve intricate layers of liability and regulation. This complexity means you need attorneys who understand the unique challenges of these cases:
Multiple Liable Parties
Beyond the truck driver, liability can extend to the trucking company, cargo loaders, vehicle manufacturers, and maintenance providers.
Federal & State Regulations (FMCSR)
The trucking industry is heavily regulated. Proving violations of these federal and state laws is key to building a strong case – and our team has deep expertise in this area.
Black Boxes (ECM Data)
Commercial trucks are equipped with electronic data recorders, or "black boxes," which contain critical information about the accident. We know how to secure and analyze this data.
Aggressive Trucking Companies & Insurers
Trucking companies and their insurance carriers have vast resources and immediate response teams dedicated to minimizing their payout. You need a legal team that matches their intensity and experience.
