Why Truck Accidents Happen
There are many reasons why a truck accident may happen. Our truck accident attorney can investigate the incident in further depth to identify the liable parties and gather proof that supports your injury claims. The truck driver, trucking company, loading crew, part manufacturer, or another party may have caused the accident to occur. While you may initially think that the truck driver is obviously the one at fault, this could be true, but there may be additional variables that you were not aware of. For instance, perhaps the cargo was not loaded and secured properly which caused the truck to be difficult to maneuver. It’s also possible that a part manufacturer released a defective product that made the truck break down when in motion. After our New Haven truck accident lawyer does an investigation, we can let you know we conclude.
What Is Expected Of Truck Drivers
There are rules and regulations at the state and federal level that set guidelines for how many hours a truck driver can be on duty. Our truck accident attorney knows that truck drivers are expected to get enough rest and take breaks so that they are not fatigued behind the wheel. Truck driver fatigue is a common reason why these incidents happen. Truck drivers are often put under pressure to meet unrealistic deadlines. Trucking companies must properly train their drivers so that they have the experience needed to handle such a vast vehicle. Our truck accident attorney may uncover that a truck driver was violating regulations and on duty for more hours and they should have been when the collision occurred. We can assess log books to see if there were not enough breaks or if any entries were falsified.
