Truck Accident Law - Boynton Beach and Lake Worth

A trucking accident occurs when large commercial trucks or tractor-trailers collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Approximately 500,000 trucking accidents occur every year in the United States. Of these, an estimated 5,000 trucking accidents result in fatalities. One out of every eight traffic fatalities involves a trucking collision.

Most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of automobiles while the drivers of the large trucks or tractor-trailers usually leave truck-vehicle collisions with little or no personal injury. Due to the large size of trucks, an accident can greatly endanger the lives of occupants in smaller vehicles when tractor-trailer operators fail to practice proper accident prevention measures.

Common Causes of Commercial Truck or Tractor-Trailer Accidents:

  • Driving While Intoxicated
  • Driver Fatigue
  • Unlicensed Driver
  • Speeding
  • Disobeying Safety Procedure
  • Motor Vehicle Inspection Failure
  • Repair Failure
  • Maintenance Failure
  • Failure to Yield The Right of Way
  • Improper Moving In Reverse
  • Vehicle Collisions
  • Mechanical Failure
  • Brake Failure
  • Tires Blow-out
  • Overloaded Truck or Tractor-Trailers
