What to Do If You Are in a DElivery Or Semi Truck Accident
If you or someone you love has been injured in a collision involving a delivery truck, such as Amazon, UPS, FedEx, or DHL, the expertise of a truck accident attorney is paramount to securing just compensation. These large vehicles contribute to an alarming number of injuries and fatalities on the road annually, with approximately 5,000 deaths and 120,000 injuries.
When a passenger vehicle meets a loaded cargo truck on the road, the aftermath is usually devastating due to the massive weight disparity. Moreover, victims often face difficulties in acquiring due compensation as many trucks operate under big corporations.
Main Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents:
- The truck is traveling too fast for the conditions.
- The truck is following the vehicle in front too closely, resulting in a rear-end collision.
- The truck is not in a roadworthy condition.
- The truck’s brakes are worn or otherwise incapable of stopping the truck in time to avoid a collision.
- The truck driver is fatigued or falling asleep at the wheel from not taking the required rest periods.
- Driver inattentiveness or distraction.
- Drug use, especially to keep the driver awake.
- Making an illegal maneuver.
- Failing to yield the right of way before entering a roadway or making a turn.
- The driver losing control of the truck due to such things as a shifting load or inclement weather conditions such as rain, snow, or high winds.
