Preventable Truck Driver Errors Leading to Injuries
Driver error is the cause of most truck accidents. Truckers are paid by the miles they drive and often get compensation based on how quickly they deliver their goods.
Despite federal regulations that limit how long truckers may be behind the wheel, many drivers ignore the regulations and drive beyond what is safe.
Truck accidents are often caused by factors such as:
- Trucker fatigue
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Falling asleep at the wheel
- Mishandling by inexperienced drivers
