3 Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Three common causes of semi truck crashes include:

  1. Truck Driver Error
    Truck drivers must be well-trained and well-rested when behind the wheel. But some truck drivers are inexperienced — while others may drive while sleep-deprived, distracted, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These are all factors for driver error, which can lead to serious accidents.
  2. Poor Truck Maintenance
    Tractor trailers, dump trucks, and box trucks need frequent maintenance to stay safe on the road. Often, trucking companies may neglect to maintain their trucks to increase profits and decrease downtimes. If a single part of a truck’s brakes, engine, transmission, or other equipment fails, the truck may become uncontrollable and cause a major accident.
  3. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Violations
    The FMCSA specifies how much weight trucks can carry and how many hours drivers can travel without rest. Sometimes trucking companies overload trucks or place unrealistic timelines on drivers to increase profits, which can lead to multi-car pileups and serious injuries.

Many factors can contribute to semi truck accidents. Our truck accident lawyers can investigate to determine who was responsible. We’ll use our legal knowledge and experience to hold that party accountable for your accident-related expenses.

    Always very professional. When we first called we had no idea if we even had a case, they told us we did. And even though the resolution took a little bit longer than expected, the wait was worth it. They get results and I really appreciated that they consistently gave me updates on the status of my case without me even asking. Thank you Ponce Law!

    After my car accident, I wasn’t sure if I needed an attorney. I called Ponce Law for a free consultation. I’m so glad I made the call. I wanted a local attorney, and from the first call, to when my case was settled, I felt heard, valued, and taken care of.

    I was on I-40 coming into Nashville and a car ran into the back of me. The accident was serious, and I needed surgery. I did ask an attorney friend of mine whom I should call, and he said call Ponce Law. The folks at Ponce Law were outstanding and got us a large settlement.
