Protecting Your Rights When You Have Suffered Injuries Due to a Truck Driver's Negligence

Most accidents involving 18 wheelers are due to the negligence of the truck driver. Oftentimes, truck drivers will drive for long hours with little or no sleep, resulting in inattention and slowed reflexes. Some 18 wheeler drivers may also drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Truck driver negligence that may result in an accident includes:

• Speeding on highways
• Jackknifing
• Failing to signal properly
• Driving too closely to other vehicles
• Making wide turns into oncoming traffic

Drivers and trucking companies may also be held responsible for accidents resulting from overloaded trucks, inadequate lighting and reflector markings, and equipment failure, including break failure and tire blowouts.
