What Causes Truck Crashes?
After experiencing the shock of a trucking accident, you are probably wondering what could have caused it. A variety of factors can contribute to trucking accidents. In many cases, multiple factors contribute to a single incident. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Truck driver fatigue
- Lack of driver training
- Pressure from the trucking company to make a deadline
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Inadequate truck maintenance
- Improper cargo loading
Determining the exact cause of an accident can be complicated. A truly thorough investigation requires someone who has considerable experience handling commercial truck accident cases. Attorney Matt Skinner knows these types of personal injury claims inside and out. He knows where to look to show that the other party is liable and you are not.
Time Is Of The Essence – Get Help Immediately
The sooner you hire an attorney after a truck accident, the better. Trucking companies and their insurers try to send representatives to the accident scene immediately to build a case against your injury claim. Some trucking companies even try to destroy evidence that may help you. You need an advocate on your side to level the playing field and protect your rights.
