For several reasons, traffic accidents caused by trucks can be far more complicated than road accidents involving automobiles alone. One reason is overlapping jurisdiction; in addition to each state’s traffic laws, the commercial trucking industry is also governed by federal regulations. A second reason auto accidents are complicated is because they typically involve more than two parties; trucking companies, the leasing company, drivers, owners, government agencies and contractors, and vehicle and parts manufacturers can all be involved in some truck accident cases. If you’re injured in central Florida in a traffic collision with a truck, you’re going to need a trustworthy accident attorney fast. Contact the Horst Law Firm and experienced Orlando truck accident lawyer Robert J. Horst as quickly as possible after a truck accident.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF TRUCK ACCIDENTS ACCORDING TO ORLANDO ATTORNEYS?

There are a number of factors that can lead to a truck accident, but the leading cause of these accidents is driving error caused by fatigue, distraction, and intoxication. Fatigue is very common among truck drivers who often have to spend countless hours on the road in order to meet tight deadlines. The more tired a truck driver is, the less he can concentrate on the road and other drivers. Cargo that is not properly loaded can also cause dangerous truck accidents. Cargo has to be carefully loaded to ensure the truck is balanced. When it’s not loaded correctly, the truck may tip over because of uneven weight distribution.

Truck accidents are more likely to occur in bad weather, as it becomes more difficult to control a large truck in extreme conditions. For example, if the roads are slippery and it’s windy outside, a truck can begin to sway back and forth and may collide with another vehicle on the road.

CONTACT A LAWYER IN ORLANDO IF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WAS TO BLAME FOR THE TRUCK ACCIDENT

Drivers and trucking companies are often at fault for truck accidents, however sometimes an accident is completely out of their control. If a part malfunctions because it is defective, the driver and trucking company are no longer liable. The responsible party in the these cases would be the manufacturer of the part. However, it is up to the trucking company to maintain their trucks, so if the part malfunctioned because it was not properly maintained, the manufacturer cannot be blamed.

HORST LAW FIRM WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE AFTER A TRUCK ACCIDENT

Car and truck accident injuries are much more common than you may think. Every year in the United States, about 90,000 serious injuries are sustained in auto accidents, and about twelve percent of all U.S. traffic deaths are auto crash fatalities. Catastrophic, disabling, and permanent injuries are not surprising in truck accidents when the size and weight of a commercial auto is compared to the typical automobile or motorcycle. Driver fatigue is the leading cause of truck accidents, but accidents also happen because of distracted driving, when a truck is over the weight limit, or when freight is improperly loaded. You may never think you will be involved in an accident with a truck, but it could happen to anyone at anytime. If it happens to you, it’s best to seek representation from one of the top law firms in Orlando. Horst Law Firm will be ready to stand by your side and fight the insurance companies to ensure you recover the compensation you deserve.
