Orlando Truck Driver Negligence

Truck_Driver_NegligenceMany truck accident cases involve negligent or careless acts perpetrated by the truck’s driver. Often, these acts result directly from the use of illegal drugs, prescription medication, or alcohol. More recently, however, distractions such as mobile phones and digital audio devices have contributed to an increase in the number of trucking accidents. Other accidents are caused by drivers who work long shifts beyond legal limits and suffer from lack of sleep. Speeding, tailgating, failing to reduce speed appropriately around turns and on downhill slopes, and other reckless driving also result in serious injuries and fatalities. If any of these factors contribute to a truck accident, the driver may be held liable for damages.

Truck Driver Negligence

Trucks have certain speed, turning, visibility, and braking characteristics that, when a truck driver is negligent, can be contributing factors in a truck accident. Other causes of serious trucking accidents include:

  • Insufficient driver training
  • Dangerous or reckless truck driving
  • Poorly maintained truck brakes
  • Overloaded or oversized trucks
  • Poor driving conditions (fog, snow, rain, or smoke)
  • Truck defects (defective tires, safety systems, lights, and others)
  • Speeding or aggressive driving behavior
  • Fatigued, sleepy, or tired driver
  • Failure to install an under-ride protection
  • Truck drivers driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol
