2. Large trucks are involved in multiple-vehicle fatal crashes at
twice the rate of passenger vehicles. One of the recurring
issues in truck accidents is driver fatigue brought on by
driving long hours on the highway. When commercial drivers
become fatigued from excessive daily and weekly work hours,
they substantially increase the risk of Truck Accident.

3.  Rollover Accidents: Big trucks are more susceptible
to rolling over because of their high center of gravity. If a
driver takes a curve too fast, the truck is likely to rollover.
 Jackknife Accidents: Jackknife accidents occur
when a truck with a tractor goes into a skid causing
the trailer to swing out to form a 90 degree angle. It
usually occurs when the wheels lock and the front
wheels and the trailer keep moving forward.
 Wide turn accident: This accident occurs when the
driver swings out too far to make a turn. This endangers
the vehicles in other lanes.

4.  Blind spot accident: This happens when the truck collides with another vehicle
in his or her blind spot.
 Brake failure: This occurs if the brakes are too old, improperly maintained or
improperly installed. Accidents can also occur if the truck driver does not maintain a
safe distance between his or her truck and the vehicle in front (big trucks take longer
to stop since they are bigger.
 Head-on collisions: This occurs when a truck collides with an oncoming
vehicle and almost always results in fatalities. These accidents will often occur if the
truck or vehicle drifts into the oncoming lane.

5.  Driver fatigue: One of the recurring issues in truck
accidents is driver fatigue brought on by driving long hours on
the highway. When commercial drivers become fatigued from
excessive daily.
 Accidents caused by inexperienced drivers:
Many trucking companies save money by using untrained,
overworked, or inexperienced drivers. Employing these
individuals can result in negligent driving and makes them
more likely to overturn, jackknife or collide with passenger
vehicles.
 Runaway trailers: Sometimes, a trailer will
disconnect from the truck, leaving all vehicles in its
way in danger of a collision.

6.  Defective parts: Sometimes, products have a defective design
(the design is flawed so that it does not function as a normal
consumer would expect it to perform). A tire that inexplicably
blows out can indicate a defective design.
 Unsecured loads: If load is improperly secured, it can fall off of an
18 wheeler, creating an obstacle course for other vehicles on the
road.
 Turning: Large trucks need more room than passenger vehicles to
turn. It is not uncommon for a large truck to use more than one
lane to turn. This endangers vehicles in other lanes.

7. The injured plaintiff can recover past and future medical
expenses and non-economic damages (also referred to as pain
and suffering – the harms, injuries and losses suffered).
Punitive damages can also be awarded when the plaintiff can
prove that the wrongdoer acted fraudulently, maliciously or
recklessly.
