An accident involving a passenger vehicle and an 18-wheeler can have serious, and even disastrous, consequences. These massive trucks carry tremendous force when they collide with another object or vehicle. There are many reasons why these accidents occur - a truck driver's negligence, lack of maintenance on the vehicle, and even bad weather. The most common causes of truck accidents are:
- Lack of driver training
- Drug or alcohol use
- Speeding
- Inclement weather
- Brake problems
- Unfamiliarity with roadway
- Poor road conditions
- Distracted driving
- Hours of service violation
- Fatigue
- Unsafe lane changing
- Failure to maintain proper distance
- Aggressive driving
- Poor truck maintenance
- Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
Other commercial vehicles cause serious personal injury and death, as well. These vehicles include:
- Heavy duty pickup trucks
