Truck Accidents
Lexington, Kentucky
Thousands of trucks cross Kentucky and the roadways all across the United States every year. The men and women who drive the trucks often are on a short time schedule, driving long distances, and very often tired or distracted. It doesn’t take much for a tractor trailer to seriously injure or kill people in smaller cars if they are involved in an accident. When a tractor trailer weighing several tons hits a car, the results can be catastrophic. Due to the sheer size of these vehicles, more than one car is often involved and many innocent people may be victims.
Some of the causes of truck accidents include:
- Speeding
- Following too closely
- Unrealistic schedules
- Driver fatigue
- Over loading or shifting loads
- Brake failure
- Inadequate maintenance
- Weather
When a tractor trailer is involved in a crash, including jackknifes or a roll over, one or more of these causes may be to blame.
