Truck accidents are incredibly destructive for victims and their families. When these large vehicles are stocked at maximum capacity, they can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Fully-stocked semis cause unimaginable damage even when travelling at low speeds. If someone is hit by a semi truck, fatal or catastrophic injuries are very likely.
It is crucial for commercial carriers and truckers to make public safety a priority. As our truck accident attorneys know from experience, the trucking industry may put profits before public safety. There are many causes of truck accidents, but the following five examples are among the most common.
All of these causes have a common theme. They are all preventable. Our law firm has seen from experience how trucking companies put profits before the safety of others.
