Investigating the Cause of the Truck Accident

There are many areas of negligence that can lead to semi truck accidents, tractor trailer accidents, and other types of trucking accidents. As experienced truck accident lawyers, we implement thorough investigation to ensure we uncover the causes of the accident to maximize your recovery. The following are some factors that may contribute to a truck accident:

• Negligent technology usage: Was the truck driver talking on a cell phone, sending E-mails, or using other means of communication rather than being attentive to the road.
• Negligent hiring of truck drivers: Did the trucking company fail to verify driving history, accident history, or driver credentials?
• Truck driver negligence: Was the driver speeding, taking wide turns, driving recklessly, drinking, sleeping, or utilizing stay-awake drugs or other illegal substances?
• Negligent truck maintenance: Did defective brakes, poorly maintained tires, or other improperly maintained equipment cause the accident?
• Negligent road maintenance: Did unsafe road conditions or poorly maintained roads contribute to the truck accident?
• Defective products: Did defective brakes, poor hydraulics, defective tires, or other defective equipment cause the accident?
• Other contributory factors: Did truck driver fatigue, improper load balancing, overweight load, blind spots, sudden lane changes, or other causes lead to the jackknife, rollover, or other truck accident?
