Tractor Trailer Accidents ∙ Semi Crashes ∙ 18-Wheeler Accidents
When 80,000 pounds on wheels is traveling down the highway with other vehicles, proper precautions are necessary to prevent hazardous conditions that could cause a serious or fatal highway crash. Too often, truck driver negligence or negligence of the trucking company puts other drivers on the road in danger.
Driver fatigue, an improperly loaded semi trailer or tractor trailer, a defective safety precaution or a traffic violation are some of the factors that contribute to a truck accident. Many of these accidents are completely preventable. The desire to carry more loads in less time pushes truck drivers and trucking companies to violate federal trucking regulations to protect innocent drivers.
