Common Causes of Truck Accidents in South Jersey

The numbers are particularly sobering when you consider that accidents involving tractor trailers, big rigs, 18-wheelers and other commercial vehicles are usually caused by completely preventable mistakes — tired or drunk truck drivers, poorly maintained equipment, improperly loaded vehicles and other reasons.

Is the trucking company at fault?

• Did they hire an inexperienced driver and fail to properly train them?
• Did the trucking company fail to do a background check on an experienced driver who might have had a record of accidents, DUI or suspicious credentials?
• Was the accident caused because the company didn’t follow guidelines for loading vehicles? Was the truck overloaded? Was the cargo not properly stored?
• Did the company fail to maintain the fleet properly? For example, was your accident caused by faulty brakes, defective tires or something else wrong with the truck itself?
• Did the company force the driver to work beyond legal hourly restrictions?

Did driver negligence contribute to your accident?

• Was the driver drunk or drugged while driving?
• Did the driver fall asleep behind the wheel? Even drowsy driving is a serious problem!
• Was the driver ignoring signage or other rules of the road, such as speeding or improper lane changes?
• Was the driver texting or otherwise distracted?
• Was road rage involved in the accident?

Did the environment or road conditions contribute to the accident?

• Should the roads have been cleared of snow, ice or debris?
• Was signage missing?
• Were the roadways in disrepair in a way that made it difficult for the driver to control the vehicle?
• Was another vehicle — other than the truck — driving carelessly?

The work that truck drivers perform — getting cargo from here to there — is something we all depend on daily throughout the US. Food from other parts of the country make it to NJ via trucks. All those online shopping purchases, heavy furniture and hazardous yet necessary substances that make our lives better get where they need to go via trucks. However, when anything goes wrong, whether on the part of the driver, the vehicle, the loading process, etc., the resulting accident and injuries are often catastrophic.
