Truck Accident Causes

Our truck accident lawyer thoroughly investigates cases to determine their causes. Some common causes of truck accidents in Phoenix, Arizona, include:

Speeding: Truck drivers exceeding the speed limit pose significant risks on the roads.

Lack of Experience: Inexperienced truck drivers may struggle to handle these large vehicles, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
Overloaded Cargo: When trucks carry excessive loads, it affects their stability and maneuverability, potentially causing accidents.
Following Too Closely: Tailgating by truck drivers significantly reduces reaction time, making it more difficult to avoid collisions.
Trucking Company Negligence: Negligence by trucking companies, such as inadequate vehicle maintenance or improper driver training, can contribute to accidents.
Equipment Defects: Faulty parts or defective equipment in trucks can lead to accidents and exacerbate their severity.

Fortunately, truck accidents typically leave behind substantial evidence, allowing law enforcement and lawyers to investigate and determine the causes. Begin the process by scheduling a free consultation with our experienced truck accident lawyer in Phoenix, Arizona.

How a blackbox can help in a truck accident

In truck accident cases, multiple parties can be held liable. Alongside the driver, the trucking company itself may bear responsibility. Trucking companies are generally accountable for their employees, ensuring compliance with regulations, and maintaining proper equipment. Therefore, if a distracted truck driver causes an accident, you may need to file a claim against the trucking company.

Liability in truck accident cases can extend beyond the truck driver or trucking company. For instance, the truck’s manufacturer might have installed defective parts, or vendors could have provided inadequate service. These are only a few examples of the numerous possibilities.
