Tractor Trailer Accidents
Tractor trailer and commercial trucks are involved in thousands of accidents every year. Due to the tremendous size and weight of these vehicles, they create enormous energy as they travel at high speeds. As a result, collisions that involve tractor-trailers often cause serious injuries or fatalities to people in passenger vehicles.
In some cases, hazardous cargo may increase the risk of burns and other additional injuries. The attorneys at Elrod Pope Law Firm are experienced in bringing lawsuits against the many parties who may be held liable, including drivers, trucking companies, employers, and contractors. Truck accident cases are much more complicated and complex than automobile accident claims and we encourage all truck accident victims to obtain legal representation immediately.
Tractor trailer accidents occur for many different reasons. There are rules and regulations that truck drivers are required by law to follow. For example, truck drivers are required to monitor the maintenance of their truck and also to stay within the guidelines for the number of hours they can drive in a day. Some common reasons truck accidents occur are:
- Insufficient driver training
- Overloaded truck
- Weather conditions causing poor visibility
- Brakes not maintained correctly
- Safety lights and equipment not working properly
- Sleepy driver
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Driver under the influence of alcohol
- Reckless driving
