Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Posted on September 20, 2016 - 4:23 pm by Adam Peck

There are an estimated 41,000 – 45,000 traffic deaths that occur every year in the United States alone as a result of trucking accidents. With commercial trucks making up more than 12.5% of all vehicles on the road, it is incredibly important to know the various causes of truck accidents to stay safe while driving.

Causes of Truck Accidents

More than 75% of truck accidents are caused by passenger vehicles such as motorcycles and cars. Here are a few common causes of truck accidents caused by both truckers and passenger vehicles:

Neglect – Around 90% of truck accidents are caused by human error such as inexperienced drivers, distractions, violation of traffic laws, speeding, driving fatigued, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Failure of Equipment or Parts – There are rules and regulations that the federal government has put in place, however some trucking companies and drivers fail to follow the rules.
Improper Loading – There can be disastrous consequences if a truckload is set up improperly, not secured well enough, under-loading or over-loading of the truck, or hazardous materials aren’t properly stored.

Next time you are driving near a big rig make sure you stay alert and leave at least 3 car spaces between you and the truck.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents

Common causes of motorcycle accidents include:

Collisions with a car or truck: Often times motorcyclists are hard to spot on the road due to their size (especially while lane splitting).

Bad weather: It’s best to avoid riding during storms or on icy roads as control of the motorcycle is greatly compromised.

Motorcyclist under the influence of drugs or alcohol: Drugs and alcohol can greatly effect reaction times, even in small amounts, and lead to tragic consequences.

Road Hazards: Hazards in the road such as pot holes, animals, and debris can pop up suddenly and abruptly! Be sure to always be aware of the road ahead.

Negligence: A motorcyclist may spot an oncoming car, or feel that they could make a turn at speed and continue on anyways.
