Truck Accidents in Ohio

Being hurt in a truck accident can completely change your life. The unfortunate truth is that we see thousands of people injured every year as a result of accidents involving some form of negligence. Some of the leading factors in truck accidents that we see across our state include:

• Fatigue: Long hours on the road can lead to driver fatigue, impairing their ability to react quickly and safely.
• Speeding: When trucks exceed the speed limit or fail to adjust their speed for road conditions, they increase the likelihood of losing control or colliding with other vehicles.
• Distracted driving: Just like any other motorist, truck drivers may become distracted by phone calls, text messages, or other distractions inside their vehicles. Anything that takes the attention of a driver off the road can cause a driver to miss seeing another vehicle nearby.
• Improper maintenance: Neglected maintenance issues such as faulty brakes or worn-out tires can cause a significant risk on the road. This can lead to tires bursting, brakes failing, and other severe issues that lead to accidents.
• Inadequate training: Insufficient training in handling large commercial vehicles may lead to poor judgment and improper maneuvering techniques.
• Overloaded cargo: Failure to properly load and secure cargo increases the chances of shifting weight or cargo spills that can affect a truck's stability and control.
