Trucking Accidents are a Different Animal

Accidents involving trucks are very different than passenger car accidents. First of all, many commercial trucks weigh close to, if not more than, 80,000 pounds when they are completely loaded with cargo. The average passenger car weighs 3,000 pounds. A truck doesn’t have to be traveling that fast upon impact to cause serious damage and injury. Additionally, if the cargo the truck is hauling is dangerous and it explodes or leaks as a result of the accident, then damages and injuries could increase rapidly. Large commercial trucks are also more likely to jackknife on the road in an attempt to avoid an accident. They are also capable of more accidents while making turns because of their length and size. Some other factors that lead to trucking accidents include:

• Insufficient training with regards to safely operating a large vehicle
• Unreasonable driving schedules that require truck drivers to spend excessive hours on the road
• Impossible compensation programs that inspire truck drivers to speed
