Truck Accident Causes
The underlying causes of truck accidents are often unseen, even in accidents that seem straightforward to victims and witnesses. Your Denver truck accident lawyer must have a thorough understanding of how and why these accidents occur, the causes of the injuries, any factors that may have contributed to the increased severity of the injuries, as well as the laws and regulations which apply to the trucking industry. Common contributing factors in trucking accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Unrealistic schedules imposed on truck drivers
- Excessive speed
- Intoxication
- Improperly loaded truck
- Overweight truck
- Inadequately maintained truck
- Defective truck or equipment
- Defective roadway
- Recklessness on the part of another driver forcing the truck driver to attempt evasive maneuvers
Who can be Held Responsible?
Trucking accident responsibility often lies with the truck driver’s employer. We can only determine who can be held responsible after a thorough investigation and full understanding of all of the causes and contributing factors in a trucking accident.
