What Causes Truck Accidents?
Truck accidents can have a variety of causes. In some cases, multiple parties are responsible for the crash. Our firm conducts thorough investigations into the cause of the accident to determine who can be held liable for your injuries.
Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Truck driver fatigue
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Drunk driving
- Drug-impaired driving
- Improperly loaded cargo
- Unsecured cargo

Who is Liable for a Truck Accident?
In many cases, the truck driver is liable for the accident. However, this is not always the case. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident, the trucking company that employs the driver may also be held liable. Additionally, in some cases, a trucking company may be held liable for the negligent actions of its driver even if the driver is an independent contractor.
Other parties that are frequently held liable for truck accidents include:
- Truck owners
- Truck and truck part manufacturers
- Truck maintenance companies
- Third-party maintenance crews
- Shippers and loaders
- Government agencies
