Common causes of Alabama trucking accidents
Most commercial trucking drivers are skilled professionals. However, that is not always the case. Our Montgomery County trucking accident lawyers are familiar with how the commercial driving system is characterized by a number of factors that can lead to serious Alabama trucking accidents, including:
- Inadequate driver training
- Lack of diligence in addressing safety concerns
- Driver compensation that encourages faster driving
- Drivers expected to handle more hours of consecutive vehicle operation than is safe
- Delivery schedules that encourage drivers to overlook safety factors
- Improper conspicuity markings
Montgomery County trucking accident attorneys identify unsafe acts by passenger vehicle drivers
Often, mistakes by other passenger car drivers lead to accidents. A Montgomery County trucking accident lawyer of Frank M. Wilson, P.C. knows that inattentive driving by a non-professional driver can create problems for truckers and other nearby passenger car drivers. The most common factor our Montgomery County trucking accident attorneys identified involving passenger vehicles is a car driver’s ignorance of a truck's limitations in acceleration, braking and visibility. Also, due to their size, weight and speed, large trucks can create air turbulence that can impede the safe operation of smaller vehicles nearby.
Common unsafe acts of car drivers near large trucks include:
- Driving in a trucker’s “blind spot”
- Sudden lane changes in front of a truck
- Sudden braking in front of a truck
- Passing a truck on the right
- Misjudging an oncoming truck’s speed
- Driving between large trucks
Any of these acts can result in a trucking accident in Alabama with dire consequences for the victims. And even if an Alabama trucking accident is not the trucker’s fault, the involvement of a large truck should always be thoroughly investigated for negligence or unsafe operation. To begin pursuing legal action for such a case, it is important to consult with an Alabama 18-wheeler accident lawyer.
