Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Waukegan
Over their decades of combined experience, our lawyers have seen countless truck accident scenarios. The most common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue: Truck drivers work long hours, sometimes exceeding their hours of service limits. These long hours contribute to drowsiness and fatigue, impairing drivers’ judgment and reaction times.
- Reckless driving and speeding: The size and weight of commercial trucks make it difficult for truck drivers to stop or avoid collisions when driving recklessly.
- Cargo loading errors: Improperly loaded cargo can cause a truck to become unstable or tip over. Poorly loaded cargo can also fall off trucks, damaging other vehicles.
- Mechanical and equipment failure: Mechanical and equipment issues, such as faulty brakes and bad tires, make it difficult for drivers to operate their vehicles safely.
Why You Need a Truck Accident Attorney in Waukegan
