How do Long Island Truck Accidents Happen?

At The Barnes Firm, our truck accident attorneys know that operating a large truck takes experience and skill, and accidents happen when one or more parties act negligently. Commonly, truck accidents happen for the following reasons:

Truck driver fatigue. Truck drivers often drive for long hours. When they fail to get enough sleep, drivers risk becoming drowsy or even falling asleep at the wheel, causing an accident.
Unsecured loads. If a truck is improperly loaded, the materials can come undone and cause an accident.
Long brake times. Due to the size and weight of the vehicle, braking requires longer planning and timing, or an accident can happen.
Improper turning. Turning a large truck requires enough time and space applied by the driver to turn successfully and avoid an accident.
Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is illegal in any vehicle, but especially negligent while on the job driving a large truck.
Speeding. Truck drivers often speed to save time or make up time on their route. This is dangerous and negligent and could cause an accident.
Poor truck maintenance. Larger trucks and vehicles need to be inspected for optimal performance routinely. If neglected, a truck can malfunction and seriously injure someone in an accident.
Distracted Driving. Truck drivers often communicate via radio or cellular device: an easy way to become distracted during a long drive, causing an accident.

Regardless of the cause of the truck accident, the injuries can be devastating for victims and their loved ones. If you or someone you know has been injured in a truck accident on the Long Island, call the trusted and experienced truck attorneys at The Barnes Firm today at (800) 800-0000.
