Common Causes of Dump Truck Accidents
Dump truck accidents happen for many different reasons. For perspective, the Federal Motorcycle Carrier Safety Administration reports about 8,000 accidents involving dump trucks every year.
Some common causes include:
- driver error;
- driver fatigue or distraction;
- improper maintenance of the truck;
- issues related to the truck's load, such as overloading or improper securing of the load.
- poor road conditions or inclement;
- negligent hiring practices;
- lack of proper driver training; and
- mechanical failures.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Dump Truck Accident?
Liability in a dump truck accident can fall on several parties. Ultimately, the specifics of the case will decide who's liable and who’s not.
For starters, the driver of the dump truck can be liable if the accident was due to their negligence.
The trucking company might also bear some responsibility for failing to maintain the vehicle properly or for hiring practices that do not ensure qualified and well-trained drivers.
Other times, manufacturers of the truck or its parts can be liable if a mechanical defect caused the accident. To find out who might be liable for the accident that harmed you or a loved one and if you have a valid case in the first place, contact us today to have your case reviewed by someone experienced in handling dump truck accident cases. We might be able to help.
