Common Causes of Auto & Trucking Accidents
Many vehicle accidents result from negligence, recklessness, or external factors. Some common causes include:
- Distracted Driving – Texting, eating, or engaging in other distractions can cause devastating crashes.
- Speeding and Reckless Driving – Driving at excessive speeds or making dangerous maneuvers increases accident risks.
- Drunk or Impaired Driving – Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, reaction time, and motor skills.
- Fatigued Driving – Truck drivers and other motorists who drive while exhausted can cause deadly accidents.
- Poor Road Conditions – Potholes, lack of signage, and other hazards contribute to accidents.
- Defective Vehicles – Malfunctions in brakes, tires, or other vehicle components can lead to dangerous crashes.
Understanding the root cause of an accident is crucial in building a strong legal case.
