Motor vehicle accidents between cars can cause significant personal injury; however, when one or more of the vehicles involved in the accident is a tractor trailer (big-rig truck), the damages can be even more profound.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Why do truck accidents happen? Oftentimes, tractor-trailer accidents occur simply due to the nature of a large truck — they do not accelerate, maneuver, or decelerate the way a passenger car does. Other reasons include:

• Inexperienced Driver
• Distracted Driver
• Tired Driver
• Driver on Drugs or Alcohol
• Lack of Proper Brake Maintenance
• Lack of Proper Safety Devices (reflectors, lights, etc.)
• Speeding
• Overweight Trucks
• Poor Weather Conditions
• Insufficient Federal Safety Inspection
