Scranton Truck Accident Information

If you frequently drive on a busy highway, you can't help but notice the intensity of a large commercial truck. Semi-trucks, 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers seem to own the road.

Driving close to a large truck can be intimidating for most drivers. Truckers must cover a large service area and often operate their trucks with little or no sleep. The faster goods are delivered is optimal for the trucking company. At times, this speed does come at the cost of the safety of the vehicles that share the road.

Common causes of truck accidents include the following:

• Abruptly changing lanes
• Driver distraction
• Driver fatigue
• Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
• Faulty truck part
• Icy roads
• Inexperienced driver
• Lack of truck maintenance
• Poor weather conditions
• Speeding
• Traffic
• Talking or texting on a cell phone

Organizations such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) constantly strive for truck drivers to be aware of ways to increase safety on the roadways. The FMCSA also investigates truck accidents nationwide in an effort to decrease the number of crashes. It is important for a truck accident attorney to be aware of any recalls, upcoming regulations, initiatives, safety rankings and compliance programs put forth by the FMCSA.
