Glick Law Firm, P.A.

Over recent years, both the government and truck companies have pulled out all the stops to try and cut back on truck accidents. The government has enforced various laws to make trucking safer and to reduce the risk of accidents, and trucking companies have increased safety procedures, as well as training and awareness, for their trucking staff. However, there are now over two million more registered trucks than there were a decade ago in the United States alone, and the higher the number of trucks on the road, the more likely the risk of an accident.

Truck accidents have caused many injuries including back, neck, spinal cord and even brain injuries. And, of course, truck accidents have been responsible for many deaths over the years.

There are many reasons why a truck accident might occur. Some of the more common reasons include:

• Driver fatigue
• Driver rushing to meet deadline
• Blind spots
• Substance use to stay awake
• Mechanical failure
• Overloaded/overweight truck
