Truck accidents take place in the United States every day that have severe impacts on the lives of those involved. These accidents take the lives of thousands of people every single year in our country. In South Carolina, we see countless innocent people lose their lives as a result of truck accidents due to negligence.
The unfortunate truth is that truck accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, but some causes are more common than others. One factor that contributes to many truck accidents is driver fatigue. Truck drivers often work long hours on the road, and not getting enough rest or taking breaks can lead to drowsiness and impaired reaction times.
Another common cause of truck accidents is speeding. When trucks exceed the speed limit, they have less time to react to obstacles in their path or other vehicles on the road. This can result in collisions that cause serious injuries or fatalities.
In addition to these factors, equipment failure can also be a contributing factor in many truck accidents. Issues with brakes, tires, or other critical components could lead to dangerous situations out on the highway.
