Driver fatigue, speeding, distracted driving and adverse weather conditions are the largest contributors to semi-truck accidents.
If injured, your top priority should be seeking necessary medical attention and contacting a semi-truck accident lawyer. It's also important to contact law enforcement, gather pertinent information and document the accident scene, which is valuable for both insurance claims and legal purposes.
Determining liability can be complex in semi-truck accidents. It often involves investigations, examination of driver records and vehicle maintenance history. Legal experts and insurance adjusters play key roles in assessing responsibility.
Federal and state regulations are in place to promote safety in the trucking industry. These rules cover areas such as driver hours-of-service, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement and weight limits.
Avoid blind spots, maintain a safe following distance and exercise caution during lane changes and passing. Trucks take longer to stop than smaller vehicles.
