Causes of Truck Accidents
The most common causes of truck accidents are:
- Poor Weather or Road Conditions - This includes things like potholes, icy roads, poor visibility, and construction zones. These conditions make it difficult for drivers to control their vehicles, leading to accidents.
- Risky Driving - This includes things like speeding, driving while fatigued, tailgating, and driving while impaired.
- Inadequate Driver Training – In a time of severe driver shortages, insufficient driver training is a more frequent occurrence.
- Distracted Drivers - Common distractions for truck drivers include using a cellphone, eating, drinking, and talking to passengers.
- Poorly Stored Materials - Improperly storing materials in the truck including everything from loose lumber to liquids, which can cause items to fall off the vehicle, obstruct the view of other drivers, or cause them to swerve to avoid debris.
Your Initial Post Accident To Do List
- Call 911 for Emergency Assistance and seek immediate medical attention.
- Secure Information from the Other Driver including name, address, make, model, and license plate number of the other vehicle, as well as the insurance carrier and policy number.
- Steer clear of any explicit admission or discussion of fault.
- Do not discuss your injuries with anyone but medical personnel.
- Contact a Personal Injury Attorney at Legal Fighters.
- Report the accident to your insurance company.
- If the police are called, request a copy of the police report.
Determining Who Is at Fault
Trucks and other commercial vehicles are unique because several parties are engaged in their maintenance and operation. This contrasts with traditional car accidents, which only have one accountable party—the car’s owner.
In a truck accident the truck driver, the trucking company, the truck manufacturer, the loaders of truck cargo, or you can be at fault in an accident. In a fault state like California, insurance companies play a significant role in determining fault and liability in vehicle accidents. The insurance companies will investigate and determine who was at fault for the accident, based on police reports, witness statements, and other evidence.

A Mistake That Could Cost You Thousands
Truck accident victims are often persuaded to try to obtain a quick settlement directly from the insurance companies or the trucking company, without the help of a lawyer. This can be a significant error in judgement that could cost you thousands of dollars in benefits!
It is important to note the insurance companies and trucking firms are not on your side. Their goal is to settle for as little as possible. A single wrong word or oversight in your interactions with them can lead to your claim being significantly reduced or even completely denied.
