Trucking Accidents
Because of the large size of tractor trailers and the enormous amount of trucks
on our Florida roads we are all at risk of being injured in an accident. Most collisions
of this sort are due to a truck driver’s negligent behavior or insufficient truck
maintenance. At the Law Offices of Henry Gare the most common causes that we see
are the following:
- Inadequate or no driver training
- Truck drivers overscheduled by trucking
companies resulting in speeding or inadequate rest periods - Commercial drivers
allowed to drive even with a record of traffic violations and accidents - Driving
while drowsy or suffering fatigue, under the influence of prescription or illegal
drugs, or while intoxicated - Negligent maintenance of significant safety components
of tractor trailer such as tires and brakes. - Load exceeds truck’s weight
limit or is balanced incorrectly
