Commonly Reported Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents

Recovering compensation after a delivery truck accident may depend on your ability to prove the cause of the collision.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) identifies the following prominent causes of large truck accidents:

  • Truck driver fatigue due to working long consecutive hours
  • Poorly maintained brakes

In addition to these causes, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) emphasizes the danger of truckers who drive while distracted. Distracted driving might include talking, texting, eating, drinking, using paper maps, or using a dispatching device while driving.

Other causes of truck accidents may include:

  • The violation of a traffic law, such as speeding or a failure to yield, on behalf of the truck driver
  • Negligent truck maintenance on behalf of the delivery company
  • A defective delivery truck or truck component on behalf of a manufacturer

No matter whose negligence caused your truck accident, Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers may be able to help you identify the responsible party and build a personal injury case against them.

Your Crash Report May Be an Important Piece of Evidence in Your Case

When Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers goes to work on your compensation claim, we may rely on your crash report to tell the story of your accident and help us identify the cause, cost, and consequences of the collision.

Your crash report may tell us:

  • Critical contact information

  • Vehicle defects
  • Citations issued by the responding officer
  • Alcohol or drug involvement

Your crash report may also tell us the road, weather, and lighting conditions and provide diagrams and notes from the investigating officer. It can also substantiate the date of the accident to help us comply with the statute of limitations.
