Common causes of highway truck accidents
Accidents caused by commercial truck drivers on highways often occur because the truck driver behaved recklessly or negligently. Highway truck accidents happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
- Speeding, especially in cases involving rear-end highway truck accidents
- Distracted driving, including highway accidents caused by texting truck drivers
- Texting while driving (even though it's against the law nationwide for all truckers)
- Improperly loaded trucks (causing them to tip or roll over)
- Poorly maintained trucks (the brakes don't work, etc.)
- Truck defects (defective tires, truck parts, etc.)
Highway truck accidents happen for many other reasons. And in each case, we're prepared to help you and your family every step of the way.
Multi-vehicle highway truck accidents
Truck accidents on highways often involve several vehicles. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and other large commercial trucks often cause these multi-vehicle accidents. That’s because these trucks are much larger than other vehicles on the road.
Sometimes, speeding truckers cause chain reaction rear-end accidents involving multiple vehicles. Other times, large trucks roll over or jackknife, crashing into several vehicles on the highway in a matter of seconds.
Along with all the injuries involved in such crashes, multi-vehicle highway truck accidents are incredibly complicated because many lawyers and insurance companies are often involved. That’s why it’s critical that you have an experienced Florida highway truck accident lawyer on your side, looking out for your best interests.
