Truck accidents have a significant impact on individuals in Wisconsin, with numerous people suffering from severe injuries such as spinal cord fractures and broken bones, necessitating immediate medical attention. One of the primary causes of truck accidents is inclement weather conditions.
Dangerous roads pose significant dangers for truck drivers due to the substantial weight of semi-trucks, making it challenging for them to come to a stop on icy surfaces, increasing the risk of collisions. Moreover, their higher center of gravity makes them more prone to tipping over when navigating difficult roadways, especially if they are involved in collisions with other vehicles or obstacles. In addition, a significant number of truck accidents take place as a result of fog, heavy rain, and other dangerous road conditions.
In many cases, negligence can play a role in truck accidents occurring. We see many accidents occur due to speeding drivers, negligent hiring and training, and maintenance companies that fail to make sure the vehicles are safe to operate.
