Forms of Truck Driver Negligence
Truck drivers are on the road for long periods of time every day, and their vehicles are considerably more difficult to navigate than the average automobile. Because of the challenges associated with operating such large vehicles, truck drivers may be the source of catastrophic auto accidents. Some examples of truck driver negligence include:
- Speeding
- Disregard for safety laws and regulations
- Choosing to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Ignoring hours of service limits
- Failing to acknowledge adverse weather conditions
- Securing the trailer or other attachments incorrectly
