Truck Accidents in Washington

Truck crashes have a severe impact on individuals and their families. Unfortunately, in our state, people suffer from severe injuries resulting from these collisions on a daily basis. Several factors contribute to the alarming frequency of truck accidents, including:

• Speeding: When semi-truck drivers are under pressure to meet deadlines, they often exceed speed limits, increasing the risk of losing control and colliding with other vehicles.
• Heavy loads: Overloaded trailers can disrupt a truck's balance, making it difficult to maneuver and stop. This can lead to catastrophic incidents such as spill outs, rollovers, and jackknifes.
• Lack of maintenance: Inadequate maintenance of semi-trucks can result in mechanical failures, leading to serious accidents on the road.
• Carelessness: Reckless and careless actions by drivers, such as erratic lane changes, failure to yield, and other negligent behaviors, contribute to many truck accidents.
