Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can happen for many reasons, and some of the most common causes include:

Aggressive driving

Passenger vehicles are harder for truck drivers to see than larger vehicles, so an aggressive driver may make a maneuver that falls within one of the truck driver’s blind spots, causing an accident. Speeding and unsafe lane changes are also common causes of truck accidents in California.

Driver error

This may include taking a turn too fast, failure to brake in time to avoid hitting another vehicle, failing to signal a lane change or failure to operate specific parts of the vehicle.

Driving under the influence

DUI is incredibly dangerous, and when it contributes to a truck accident, the results can be devastating, especially at high speeds.

Lane changes

Tractor-trailers need quite a bit of room to change lanes, so other drivers should use extra caution when a nearby truck signals a lane change. Truck drivers must also make sure they have room to safely execute lane changes.

Improper cargo storage

A tractor-trailer has a high center of gravity, and an empty trailer can easily tip over under certain conditions. It’s essential to secure the cargo of a trailer properly to balance the weight for the most stability. Special types of cargo such as construction materials, lumber, or oversized loads require specialized security devices.
