Truck Accidents

Truck accidents happen when a truck crashes in a way that the truck was not designed to crash. There are many causes of truck accidents including driver fatigue, aggressive drivers, unrealistic driving schedules set by trucking companies, cell phone use and truck malfunction. Due to the size and design of many trucks on the road, there is a higher occurrence of injury and fatality associated with truck accidents than with car accidents. In order to prevent injury from a truck accident, it is important to keep a safe distance from trucks and to drive defensively.
