Vehicle accidents that involve semi tractor-trailers, big rigs, 18-wheelers, or commercial vehicles tend to be much more severe, simply because of the size and weight differences between the vehicles. Serious injuries are common, especially when an eighteen-wheel truck collides with a smaller car or motorcycle.

Causes of Deadly Trucking Wrecks

Unlike ordinary drivers, commercial truck drivers have special training and are heavily regulated. For example, the number of hours a driver with a commercial driver’s license can be on the road is limited by shift, day, and week. Therefore, the causes of trucking accidents can involve issues other than simple driver error. Investigators and lawyers have found many contributing factors when a commercial vehicle is involved in a dangerous roadway accident. Some of these include:

• driver on drugs or alcohol
• evidence of driving too many hours, such as fake log books
• driver fatigue or actually being asleep at the wheel
• uneven cargo or load shifts
• tire blowout or tread separation
• hiring negligence or improper training by the trucking company
• illegal lane change accidents
