- Driver Fatigue: Long hours on the road leading to reduced reaction times.
- Distracted Driving: Using phones, GPS devices, or other distractions while operating the truck.
- Mechanical Failures: Poorly maintained brakes, tires, or hydraulics.
- Reckless Driving: Speeding, tailgating, or failing to follow traffic laws.
- Blind Spots: Large blind spots preventing drivers from seeing smaller vehicles or pedestrians.
If negligence played a role in your accident, our attorneys will work to hold the responsible parties accountable.
