Trucking collisions occur all too often as a result of driver error or inadequate truck driver training. Approximately one quarter of all truck collisions are the result of avoidable driver error. Many trucking companies place pressure on drivers to put in long hours in an attempt to maximize profits. Safety is often sacrificed in the process resulting in often catastrophic injuries. Some of the causes of trucking collisions can be: excessive or imbalanced loads, reckless driving, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, poor maintenance of the vehicle, driver inexperience, and failure to see other vehicles in the truck’s blind spot.
Due to the large size and weight of trucks, injuries tend to be more catastrophic than those suffered in auto accidents. These injuries can include brain injury, spinal cord injury, broken bones, neck and back injuries, paralysis and death. While you should report the truck accident to your insurance company, you should never give a written or verbal statement regarding the details of the accident to an insurance agent until you consult with an attorney. Often, insurance companies will try to get you to provide a statement which admits fault or limits their liability. By consulting with a lawyer first, you will ensure that your compensation is not unfairly reduced.
