Why Truck Accidents Like This Happen – And Who May Be Liable
Collisions involving 18-wheelers or commercial vehicles often lead to catastrophic injuries or fatalities. These massive trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, meaning even minor negligence can cause devastating harm.
Common Causes of Semi-Truck Crashes:
-
Driver Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel with little rest, often in violation of federal Hours of Service rules.
-
Medical Episodes: Like in this crash, drivers may lose consciousness due to underlying health conditions.
-
Mechanical Failures: Poorly maintained brakes or under-inflated tires can lead to uncontrollable vehicles.
-
Distracted Driving: Texting or even using GPS while driving can take a driver's eyes off the road for critical seconds.
Who Can Be Held Accountable?
Multiple parties may be held legally responsible after a crash like this, including:
-
The truck driver
-
The trucking company that employs the driver
-
Vehicle maintenance providers
-
Third-party contractors or manufacturers (in the case of brake/tire failure)
