You're probably familiar with the various causes of car accident, like distracted driving and drunk driving. However, these are only two of many possible causes for truck accidents. In this article, we'll explore some common trucking accidents and how they happen so you can better understand how to avoid being involved in one yourself.

Inattentive Truck Drivers

• Truckers are often distracted by their cell phones, tiredness and co-drivers.

• Distractions in the environment around them: A truck driver may be distracted by other vehicles or pedestrians on the road that they are trying to avoid hitting.

Speeding

In addition to speeding, other common causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver fatigue. Truck drivers are required to take breaks and rest during their shifts, but sometimes they don't have the opportunity or the time. This can lead to driver fatigue and make them less alert behind the wheel.

• Improper loading or unloading of cargo. If a load is improperly balanced or stacked high enough for visibility problems, it could cause an accident if another vehicle hits it from behind or if something falls off during transit (which has happened).

• Poor road conditions/weather conditions like rain or snow that reduce visibility for drivers on both sides of an intersection at once--this is especially dangerous when one driver has limited visibility because he's in traffic while another has clear sight lines into his lane due to being stopped at a red light; however this scenario can also happen when both parties are moving slowly through heavy foggy clouds where neither driver sees each other until they're right next door!

Distracted Driving

If you're a truck driver, you know all too well that distracted driving is one of the biggest causes of truck accidents. A lot of people think it's only texting and driving, but there are many other ways that people can become distracted while they're behind the wheel.

One example is talking on a cell phone--this is illegal in many states (and even if it isn't illegal where you live, it's still not safe). Another possibility is having passengers in your car who want to talk to each other or play with their phones instead of paying attention when they're riding with someone else who needs their full attention!

If these scenarios sound familiar and apply to you as well as many others out there who drive regularly...don't worry! This article will help explain why this type of behavior happens so often--and what steps we can take together so we don't end up causing any more accidents than necessary!

Drunk Driving

One of the most common causes of truck accidents is drunk driving. Drunk drivers are often not aware of their impairment, and they may not be aware that driving a truck is more dangerous than driving a car. They also may not understand how quickly they can lose control over their vehicle or how difficult it can be to regain control after losing it. If you've been injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver, we encourage you to speak with an experienced attorney who has handled similar cases before so that he or she can help explain your options for seeking compensation from those responsible for your injuries.

Mechanical Failure

• Truck drivers are required to inspect their vehicles and report any mechanical problems.

• Trucking companies should have policies in place for addressing mechanical issues.

• In addition, it's important that you know what to do if you notice something wrong with your truck while on the road. If a part breaks or malfunctions while you're driving, there could be serious consequences--not only for yourself but also for other drivers on the road with you!

Truck accidents are often caused by the truck drivers themselves

While truck drivers are often at fault for accidents, it's important to note that they're not always to blame. For example, some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:

• Truck drivers being in a hurry and rushing through traffic lights or stop signs

• Truck drivers failing to see pedestrians or other vehicles ahead of them on the road

• Cars pulling out into traffic without looking first.
