When a trucking accident occurs, the results can be devastating on a physical, emotional and financial level. Each year, more than 500,000 truck accidents cause approximately 5,000 deaths in the U.S. While fatalities don't occur in most truck crashes, the results can still leave victims seriously injured, permanently disabled and/or in serious debt (due to medical bills, property damage and an inability to work).

Regardless of the cause of a truck accident, victims will likely be entitled to seek compensation if they can prove that another party's negligence, recklessness or carelessness played a role in the wreck. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck crash, or your loved one has died in a trucking accident, consult with a seasoned truck accident attorney to find out if you have a legitimate claim. Experienced truck crash lawyers are dedicated to helping you and your family recover the compensation you need and deserve.

When Truck Drivers Cause Accidents

Truck accidents may be caused by the truck driver, a driver of another vehicle, or conditions beyond any drivers' control such as harsh weather conditions. When either truck drivers or other drivers are responsible for causing an accident, it can be due to their:

• Carelessness
• Negligence
• Failure to obey traffic laws
• Fatigue (Studies show that driver fatigue can be just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.)
• Inexperience or lack of training
• Intoxication due to alcohol consumption and/or drug use
• Reckless driving, such as speeding, failure to use signals, unsafe lane changes, etc.
• Use of a cell phone, MP3 player or other portable electronic device

Around 75 percent of all truck accidents are caused by drivers in other vehicles.Unfortunately, truck accident fatalities tend to affect these drivers, as smaller cars are far more easily damaged than larger, heavier trucks.

Other Factors that Cause Trucking Accidents

Factors other than driver error that may be responsible for a truck crash may include:

• Animals or debris in the road
• Poor road conditions, such as slick or icy roads
• Dangerous weather conditions, such as heavy winds, rain or snow
• Vehicle equipment defects or malfunctions (Many major auto makers, including Toyota, Ford, GMC and Chevy, have issued a number of recalls on defective parts over the past decades)
