Underlying Causes of Truck Accidents

A truck accident may have one or more causes or factors that contribute to its occurrence. For example, an overtired truck driver may not see a large pothole in the road, which causes a blown tire that projects into the path of another vehicle, thereby causing an accident. In this situation, it is important to consider the truck operator’s responsibility, as well as the potential liability of the municipality or other government entity that may be responsible for maintaining the roadway. Looking at an accident from every possible angle will help your lawyer understand the primary cause of your accident and identify all sources of compensation.

The truck accident attorneys at Pearson Butler deal with Utah cases involving:

  • Defective or poorly maintained truck parts
  • Dangerous roadways
  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Overloaded trucks
  • Improperly balanced or unsecured truck cargo
  • Speeding or driving too fast for road/weather conditions
  • Unsafe lane changes and merges
  • Drunk driving
  • Driving under the influence of illegal or prescription drugs
  • Hours-of-service violations by drivers and trucking companies
