What Causes Truck Accidents?

There are many different potential causes of truck accidents:

• Truck driver error or negligence
• An overloaded truck
• An improperly balanced truck load
• Equipment failure
• Poorly maintained truck parts
• Defective truck parts
• Heavy weather
• Poor road conditions
• Drunk driving

Regardless of the cause of a West Palm Beach trucking accident, the consequences may be very serious. A large truck may be classified as a vehicle that has a gross weight of more than 10,000 pounds. Fully loaded, a semi truck or big rig may weigh up to 80,000 pounds or possibly more in some situations. When a vehicle of this weight is involved in a collision of any speed with a passenger car, pedestrian or bicyclist, the results may be catastrophic.
