Trucking accidents can be very complex. Missouri and federal trucking laws are different for truck drivers than they are for car drivers. In addition, there are many more people who could have contributed to a truck accident than in your typical car accident. Therefore, it is important to contact an experienced attorney at Tolbert Beadle & Musgrave LLC who is well versed in handling truck accident claims in Missouri. We will aggressively pursue your claim. For additional information about our qualifications and the level of service you can expect from us, please visit our firm overview page.
Some Common Causes of Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Trucking accidents can be caused by a number of factors, including negligence by numerous parties. Some of the more common causes of truck accidents include the following:
- Truck driver error - including drug and alcohol use, driver fatigue caused by working long shifts or working prior to driving the truck, and lack of training.
- Truck company negligence - including not properly investigating the drivers they hire or employ.
- Truck cab owners - including a truck crash caused by a truck cab owner's failure to properly inspect and maintain the truck cab, such as tires, brakes, taillights, etc.
- Truck trailer owners - these owners are oftentimes different from the owner of the truck cab, but for the same reasons (i.e., failure to inspect and maintain the truck trailer) an accident can occur.
- Truck loaders - including failing to properly load a truck to ensure there is load balance or failure to properly secure items in the truck causing a dramatic shift in balance and possibly an accident or a truck rollover.
- Truck manufacturers and designers - including design defects or defective truck parts.
Because of the many different possible causes (including combinations of the above or other causes), there are also many potentially liable parties in a truck accident claim. It is important to identify those parties because a failure to do so may jeopardize your ability to receive full compensation for your injuries or loss.
