The Federal Motor Safety Carrier Association (FMSCA), a U.S. government agency, has identified frequent causes of truck accidents through extensive research. Some common causes they have pinpointed include the following:
- Loss of control due to rapid maneuvers, vehicle dynamics, excessive speed, poor driving conditions and human error, such as inattention
- Drivers falling asleep or becoming incapacitated
- Running off the road; improper lane changes or turns
- Human error by the driver of another vehicle
- Mechanical failures, including brakes
- Vehicle separations (towing accidents)
Whether the cause of the truck accident that you were involved in was human error (such as driver fatigue or reckless driving) or mechanical failure (such as tire blowouts), you owe it to yourself to have your case analyzed by an aggressive, accomplished truck accident lawyer.
