What causes truck accidents? These may have any of a number of potential causes: driver error, distractions, speeding, violation of a traffic law, drunk driving, equipment malfunction, or an improperly balanced truck load. At times a combination of one or more factors may lead to a truck accident. As such it may be difficult to determine exactly what caused a truck accident to occur and therefore what party should be held liable. This is one of many reasons to consider including an attorney as soon as possible in the wake of an accident with a big rig, semi truck or tractor trailer.

Most Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Although there are numerous factors that may lead to a truck accident, there are particular causes that are more common. Driver error or inexperience is the most common cause of truck accidents in the U.S., and speeding and drunk driving are also common factors in all types of traffic accidents, including those involving large trucks. Negligence (the failure to act with proper caution or care) would count as driver error and may include drivers who are talking on the phone, tired, adjusting the radio or otherwise acting carelessly.
