Understanding the Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can result in devastating injuries and property damage. It is important to understand the common causes of these accidents to help prevent them and protect yourself on the road. At Skipper Law, LLC, we have handled numerous truck accident cases in Crofton and Bowie, and we have identified some of the most common causes:

  1. Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours and may push themselves to meet deadlines, leading to fatigue. This can impair their judgment and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents.
  2. Distracted Driving: Just like any other driver, truck drivers can become distracted by their phones, GPS devices, or other distractions, taking their attention away from the road.
  3. Improper Truck Maintenance: Neglecting regular maintenance and inspections can result in mechanical failures, such as brake failures or tire blowouts, which can cause accidents.
  4. Speeding: Truck drivers who exceed the speed limit or fail to adjust their speed to road conditions may not be able to stop in time to avoid a collision.
  5. Driving Under the Influence: Truck drivers who operate their vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs put themselves and others at risk.

Identifying the cause of a truck accident is crucial for building a strong case. Our experienced Crofton and Bowie truck accident attorneys at Skipper Law, LLC can investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident and gather evidence to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Who Is Liable After a Truck Accident?

It is essential that every element of a truck accident is carefully investigated. The primary cause of the accident must be determined, and from there, a specific party can be held liable for the accident.

Some of the parties that can be held responsible are:

  • The truck driver: In many circumstances, the driver of the 18-wheeler or delivery truck will be held responsible because that party is in control of the vehicle.
  • The company: The company that hired the driver can be held responsible if the driver has a history of negligent behaviors that could have tipped them off when making the hiring decision.
  • The maintenance company: If the accident was caused by break failure or another repair issue, the repair or maintenance crew can be held responsible.
  • The vehicle manufacturer: If it is found that the vehicle or its components are faulty, the manufacturer can be held responsible.

You formulated an excellent strategy by documenting all non-compliant issues throughout the condominium complex concerning the case and personally took pictures of each of the 240 front doors in order to prove the validity of my case. This photo album of these doors was so well put together, it made it easy for the opposing attorneys and the judges to see and understand precisely what we were talking about and where each door was located. Your continued energy and support in pursuit of this case has been essential in keeping me informed at all stages of the case. Your professionalism is truly appreciated.
