Every day, truck accidents take place across the United States that are completely preventable. These accidents leave tens of thousands of people injured while claiming the lives of thousands.
There are many factors that can contribute to the occurrence of 18-wheeler wrecks, but three common causes stand out amongst the rest. The first and typically the most obvious cause is driver error. Many accidents occur due to drivers who are fatigued or distracted, resulting in delayed reactions and poor decision-making while behind the wheel.
Another potential cause is equipment failure, which includes issues with brakes, steering systems, tires, and other important components of an 18-wheeler that can malfunction as a result of wear and tear or lack of proper maintenance.
Finally, external factors such as weather conditions like heavy rain or snowstorms can also play a role in causing these types of crashes by making it more difficult for drivers to see clearly or control their vehicles on slick roads.
