Common Causes Of Trucking Accidents In Oklahoma
Truck accidents involve large commercial vehicles, including 18-wheelers, semi trucks, tractor-trailers and delivery trucks. These crashes are far more complex than typical car accidents. Common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue and hours-of-service violations: Fatigue impairs judgment and slows reaction time dangerously
- Distracted driving: Inattention causes deadly crashes
- Improper loading or unsecured cargo: Shifting loads destabilize large trucks
- Mechanical failures and poor maintenance: Neglected brakes and tires fail unexpectedly
- Speeding and reckless driving: Speed dramatically reduces stopping ability
- Blind spot accidents: Large trucks have extensive blind spots on all sides
- Jackknife and rollover accidents: Sharp turns or sudden stops cause severe wrecks
- Weather-related crashes: Rain and ice impair braking and steering
Truck accidents often cause severe and lasting injuries. Victims commonly suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, broken bones and severe burns. These injuries can require years of medical treatment and keep you from returning to work.
