According to the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), more than 500,000 truck accidents occur on U.S. roadways each year. Such trucking accidents result in approximately 5,000 fatalities annually, a number that accounts for about 12 percent of all traffic accident deaths in the U.S. Of all types of traffic accidents, tractor-trailer accidents are among the most dangerous, as 98 percent of these crashes result in death. Interestingly, about 75 percent of all truck accidents are not caused by the truck driver, but rather by the driver of other smaller vehicles.

While a number of factors can contribute to serious, fatal truck accidents, when the negligence of another entity plays a role in a crash, victims of the accident will be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses. Injured parties can learn more about their legal rights by consulting with one of our well-trained truck accident attorneys. Truck accident law firms are dedicated to representing the rights of accident victims in an effort to help them get through the legal process as efficiently and favorably as possible.

Causes of Trucking Accidents

Some of the factors that can cause or intensify a truck accident include:

• Dangerous weather and/or road conditions
• Driver carelessness, fatigue and/or intoxication
• Driver inexperience
• Failure to obey traffic laws
• Improperly loaded cargo
• Reckless driving
• Vehicle equipment failure

The worst truck accidents tend to occur with heavier trucks going at higher speeds.
