Causes of Trucking Accidents

Truck drivers and trucking companies are required to follow a series of complex state and federal regulations designed to increase safety and reduce serious accidents. This includes logging driving hours, conducting routine maintenance checks and hiring qualified drivers. Violation of trucking regulations is one of the main causes of truck accidents in Florida today.

Other causes of 18-wheeler accidents include:

• Truck driver is driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Truck driver fails to look for oncoming traffic when turning or switching lanes
