Attorney Ty Stimpson
Common causes of truck cases. Thousands of truck cases take place every year, leading to many deaths and severe injuries. And most of the deaths in truck wreck cases are passengers of the nearby vehicles. The wrecks occur due to several reasons, most of which are preventable, such as driver fatigue, high speed and overtaking, overloaded cargo, and mechanical defects with the truck. Commercial truck drivers work under tight and hectic schedules. They can be forced to pay heavy penalties if they do not reach their destinations on time. Unfortunately, unreasonable schedules and tight deadlines create extreme pressure for these drivers to drive long hours. This prevents them from getting good quality sleep, and as a result, produces fatigue, which causes accidents due to loss of concentration, reduction of coordination, and of falling asleep while driving. The faster they go, the more money they can make. This makes them drive at a unsafe and high speed trying to meet the deadline, trying to make as much money they can while driving.

Commercial trucks can carry loads up to a certain limit, both in terms of weight and volume. An overloaded truck is difficult to drive, and the chances of accidents also increase. The probability of accidents also increase if the cargo is not balanced properly or if it's not safely fastened to the truck. Shifting cargo can even cause rollovers. And remember, truck drivers are not always at fault for crashes. Sometimes crashes may take place due to mechanical issues that the truck owner should have fixed. A good example is faulty brakes. Commercial truckers have more complex braking system than any other vehicle on the road, and any fault in this system can trigger crashes. Trucking companies and their insurance carriers work quickly to try to hide crucial evidence to save their money, their time, and reputation. So you need to move fast and hire an attorney who, one, knows how to handle truck wreck cases, but also knows how to fight to protect you if you're severely injured in a truck wreck case.
