Bethesda MD Truck Accident Lawyers

Truck Accident Causes

Like all accidents, identifying the cause of your truck accident will go a long way in determining whether you're eligible for compensation under the law. Our experienced Maryland truck accident lawyers have the resources and know-how to investigate the circumstances behind your crash and determine it's cause. Some typical truck crash causes can include (but are not limited to):

• Alcohol or drug-abuse on the part of the driver
• Driving on the freeway without properly securing a tail load
• Fatigue from driving long-distances without stopping often enough
• Imprudent driving during inclement weather
• Passing at an inappropriate time or otherwise being negligent when changing lanes
• Failing to spot passing cars in the truck's blind spot
• Tailgating, driving above the speed-limit, or other reckless/aggressive driving behaviors
• Poor maintenance of the trailer or cabin that results in reduced sighting or truck functionality
• Blow-out of tires (or tire treads) that leads to loss of steering control
• Jackknifing as a result of taking a turn too hard
• Rolling over the truck as a result of over-correcting for a sharp turn
• Bad road conditions
• Lane cutting
• Improper storage or loading of hazardous materials
• Improper storage or loading of cargo that results in a release of some or all of the cargo on to the road
