 Trucking
accidents
is
the
term
commonly
given
collisions
between
large
trucks
(vehicles
weighing
more
than
10,000
pounds)
and
moving
passenger
vehicles,
other
trucks,
parked
vehicles,
or
pedestrians.
In
2000,
one
out
of
every
eight
fatal
car
accidents
involved
a
large
truck.
This
can
be
attributed
not
only
to
the
size
and
weight
of
these
trucks
but
also
to
significant
blind
spots
in
the
field
of
view
of
truck
drivers...If

Like
other
vehicle
crashes,
trucking
accidents
can
result
from
a
variety
of
causes,
but
statistics
show
that
certain
situations
make
them
more
likely.
For
example,
there
is
an
increased
risk
of a
trucking
accident
when
a
passenger
vehicle
tries
to
cut
into
the
inside
lane
while
a
truck
is
making
a
wide
right
turn.
This
increases
the
likelihood
of
an
accident
because
it
places
the
passenger
vehicle
in
the
truck
driver’s
blind
spot.
Many
trucking
accidents
could
have
been
prevented
had
the
drivers
taken
the
proper
precautions.
Being
alert,
leaving
adequate
space
for
unexpected
stops,
and
staying
out
of
blind
spots
can
all
help
to
prevent
trucking
accidents.
In
addition,
drivers
can
decrease
their
odds
of
having
an
accident
by
avoiding
the
roads
when
they
are
tired
and
when
they
have
been
drinking
alcohol.
Limiting
driving
distractions
(such
as
eating
or
talking
on a
cell
phone
while
driving)
is
also
an
important
step
towards
limiting
accidents.
Drivers
involved
in
trucking
accidents
should
take
certain
steps
at
the
scene
of
the
collision
as
well
as
in
the
days
immediately
following
the
crash.
Being
involved
in a
trucking
accident
can
be
very
frightening
and
the
aftermath
can
be
chaotic
and
confusing,
especially
if
there
have
been
any
serious
injuries.
If
you
have
been
in a
trucking
accident,
consider
contacting
not
only
your
insurance
company
but
also
an
attorney
who
specializes
in
trucking
accident
cases.
