Tractor-Trailer Collisions Can Be Catastrophic

Causes of Fatal Accidents

Investigating the cause of fatal trucking accidents is an essential part of building a case. Some common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, hours violations, unsafe vehicles, overloaded trucks, tire blowouts, defective brakes, and drunk or distracted drivers.

Faulty fuel systems are another common problem in larger vehicles. Large commercial trucks are more likely to tip and roll over during an accident, putting them at increased risk for catching fire and injuring passengers. Truck fuel causes fires to burn very hot and spread rapidly, causing catastrophic or fatal burn injuries.
