Although the commercial trucking industry is highly regulated, trucking accidents happen every day. Drive on any highway and you will see daily evidence of shredded truck tires and other debris left behind by trucks that were unsafe for the road.

Because of the size and weight of commercial trucks, when those accidents occur, the injuries can be catastrophic and fatalities are not uncommon.

Trucking accidents occur for a variety of reasons; the most common factors are driver fatigue, driver inexperience, overloaded trucks, defective brakes and tires, improper maintenance and trucking companies that ignore training and safety regulations to maximize their profits.

Truck drivers are always concerned about losing their jobs if they cause an accident, so it is common practice for truck drivers to deny being at fault even when their negligence is obvious.
