Driver Errors and Trucking Company Errors Cause Accidents
Truck drivers and trucking companies are under pressure to deliver goods on time no matter what. Safety can suffer as a result. Driver inattention — at highway speeds or on city streets — can cause accidents. The driver may be checking an on-board computer, a GPS system or talking or texting on a cell phone.
An 18-wheeler truck driver may drive too many hours and not get appropriate rest. Drowsiness — and sometimes drugs that combat drowsiness — can cause accidents.
The trucking company or the owner of the cargo may be responsible for unbalanced loads. An improperly secured or unsecured load can cause the truck to be dangerously unbalanced, especially when combined with rapid lane changes and aggressive driving.
Maintenance is critical, especially for an 18-wheeler carrying tons of cargo. Tires must be secured and monitored. Brakes and other crucial equipment must be in good repair. Side mirrors and other visibility tools must be in good repair and properly placed.
If a loved one has been in a fatal truck accident or if you or a loved one has been seriously injured, a call to an experienced Houston and Galveston truck accident attorney can start an investigation that can lead to the compensation the victim and family need.
