Common Causes of Arlington Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can happen anywhere and can have numerous causes. Some of the most common causes of truck accidents in the Arlington area include:
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs continues to be a major problem.
- Driver fatigue is common in the trucking industry as drivers are often required to work long hours. Fatigue can easily lead to an increased risk of accidents.
- Driver distractions such as texting, talking on the phone, interacting with a passenger, adjusting the radio, or focusing on the GPS can all cause the driver to take their eyes and hands off the wheel.
- Bad weather conditions can make driving more difficult and increase the risk of accidents.
- Speeding is the leading cause of truck accidents.
- Poorly maintained trucks can lead to equipment failures and problems that increase the crash risk. If neglected brakes fail or a worn tire suddenly blows out, the driver can lose control and collide with other vehicles.
- Defective parts and equipment can also cause a major failure and lead to crashes.
- Trucking companies failing to screen and monitor drivers adequately can lead to hiring inadequately trained drivers or those with poor driving records.
- Improperly loaded and secured cargo can shift, leading to an increased risk of accidents.
- Failure to abide by state and federal trucking industry regulations designed to keep our roads safer.
These are just some of the potential causes of truck accidents. You need an experienced truck accident lawyer to carefully investigate your accident to identify possible causes and potentially liable parties.
