The Danger of Large Trucks
We are sure you have thought about what could go wrong while you are riding down the roadway next to one of the following:
- Dump truck
- Eighteen-wheeler
- Trash trucks
- Construction vehicles
- Delivery vehicles
- And other large trucks
In some cases, these vehicles can weigh more than 80,000 pounds. Compare that to the average passenger vehicle that weighs around 4,000 pounds, and you can see why these crashes can be so devastating.
We know that many large truck crashes are caused by driver error and vehicle failure.
It is important that all truck drivers have their commercial driver’s licenses and be properly trained to operate each vehicle they use. All too often we find that new truck drivers are put on the road with no training from a more experienced driver.
Under no circumstances should a truck driver operate while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. They should also never be Distracted by Their Phones or other devices.
Drivers need to obey all federal and state laws and regulations regarding the operation of large trucks. This includes not carrying more weight than allowed and not driving over the number of hours allowed. Truck companies should always inspect and maintain their vehicle to prevent failure of the following systems:
- Brakes
- Steering
- Lighting
- Tires/wheels
- Powertrain
- Suspension
- And more
It is not uncommon for us to see the following injuries in the aftermath of a larger truck crash:
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- Internal organ damage/internal bleeding
- Broken or dislocated bones
- Severe lacerations or amputations
The question is this – who is going to be responsible for covering the expenses related to a crash?
