Injured in an accident involving a tractor trailer?

While common sense dictates that a properly trained and licensed driver of large trucks will improve performance and reduce auto accidents, this isn't always the case.

In fact, a Federal Highway Administration study in 1996 concluded that the trucking sector is not providing adequate training for new drivers of large rigs, while currently, drivers with a CDL license are not required to have on-the-road experience.

Tractor trailer and commercial vehicle accidents are known to be caused by a variety of factors, with most serious accidents generally being attributed to five main contributing factors.

These include:

-Drunk driving
-Vehicle safety
-Driver skill level
-Load shift / incorrect cargo stowage
-Driver fatigue
-Speeding
-Overloaded trailers
-Oversize cargo

These all contribute significantly to the chances of serious truck accident occurring.

Knowing what to do and who to contact after being involved in a serious truck accident can be very confusing for many accident victims.
