When a commercial semi-truck or tractor-trailer collides with your average motor vehicle, the consequences are often catastrophic and even fatal. Due to the massive size and weight of these vehicles, a truck accident is typically devastating in nature, resulting in extensive medical treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, lost income, and even pain and suffering. Since trucking companies are backed by powerful legal teams, it is imperative to seek legal assistance from an experienced lawyer.
At Lowe Law Group, our Eugene truck accident attorney has recovered millions of dollars on behalf of clients who have suffered serious injuries in Oregon and throughout the United States. We understand that truckers and trucking companies will do their best to deny liability, which is why we will collect vital evidence to support your case and recover your entitled compensation.
Causes of Trucking Accidents
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations govern how trucking companies are supposed to operate in order to keep other drivers on the road safe. However, it is not uncommon for truck companies to take shortcuts by ignoring these regulations in order to meet deadlines faster and make a profit. Unfortunately, these tactics often lead to tragic truck accidents.
Common causes of trucking accidents include:
- Truck driver error – Whether a trucker is driving recklessly or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driver error is one of the main causes of truck accidents. If a truck driver fails to adhere to their duty of care and collides with another motor vehicle, the trucker is liable for any damages suffered by the other motorist.
- Inadequate maintenance – Since commercial trucks travel thousands of miles every day, the constant wear and tear require regular inspections and maintenance. If a trucker or trucking company fails to conduct routine maintenance on a vehicle and that vehicle is involved in an accident due to equipment failure, those parties will be at fault for causing the collision.
- Improper cargo loading – Trucks are required to carry a maximum amount of weight. Sometimes, commercial trucks will exceed the maximum weight to reduce the number of trips to complete a delivery. Unfortunately, when a truck’s cargo is too heavy, the vehicle becomes more difficult to maneuver and make tires more prone to blowouts.
- Hours of service violations – Truckers are only supposed to drive for a certain amount of time each day and each week. Yet, they may drive for longer periods of time to meet deadlines faster. Not getting enough rest can lead to fatigued driving, which is just as dangerous as drunk driving.
