A truck accident usually more serious than other auto accidents

The immense size and weight of trucks makes them especially dangerous. These vehicles can be extremely hazardous to other drivers if operated recklessly or if not maintained regularly.

Following are some common causes of truck accidents that require the assistance of a trucking accident attorney:

• Driver fatigue. Each year many truck accidents are attributed to fatigue. For truck drivers time is money. Many drivers go over the legal limit of allowed hours per week and suffer from exhaustion. However, fatigued drivers are usually easy to spot. If you notice a truck driver swerving, or increasing or decreasing speed suddenly, change lanes and avoid them.
• Driver intoxication. Drunk driving is illegal and extremely dangerous. Operating any vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is dangerous. However, drunk truck drivers pose an especially serious threat to the welfare of other drivers. Contact a trucking accident attorney as soon as possible if you suffer an injury resulting from a collision with an intoxicated truck driver.
• Driver distraction. Talking or texting on a cell phone, eating or drinking, or listening to the radio are all distracting behaviors that can divert a truck driver’s attention away from the road—causing catastrophic injury to other drivers.
• Defective parts. A truck that contains malfunctioning parts is a peril to passenger cars and motorcycles. Defective brakes, hitches, and tires can cause a truck to lose control and collide with several vehicles. You should not hesitate in contacting a Gwinnett County trucking accident law firm if you believe your injury was caused by a malfunctioning truck.
