In addition to the auto and truck accident causes above, common causes of truck accidents include:
- Driver fatigue
- Unrealistic schedules imposed by trucking companies
- Inadequate truck maintenance
- Unbalanced load
- Improperly secured load
- Overweight truck
- Inexperienced truck driver
- Failure to check blind spots
- Truck driver unfamiliar with the area
- Other negligent driver, who may or may not be involved in the crash itself
Defective Vehicles
Defective vehicles and massive recalls have become a hot news topic, but your accident or injuries could have been caused by a defect that has not been publicized and there may not be a recall.
Some types of defects, such as faulty tires or defective ignition switches, cause accidents. Crashworthiness defects are those which cause injuries or cause injuries to be worse, but are not the cause of the accident. Certain defective parts, such as airbags, have the potential to both cause accidents and cause injuries to be worse in the event of an accident.
Rare, but just as dangerous, are defects that can cause a fire when the vehicle is parked and turned off. If this occurs in a garage, under a car port, or near a building, it can easily cause a deadly structure fire.
After a motor vehicle accident, you have a limited amount of time to take legal action or you will lose your right to compensation forever. Please, call the Bismarck auto and truck accident attorneys of Maring Williams Law Office, P.C. at (800) 492-5297 today or contact us online right away to learn more about how we can protect your rights and help you collect the compensation you deserve.
