Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Galveston
Truck accidents happen in Galveston for many reasons. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides information on some of the most common causes of these accidents.
Distracted Driving
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes distracted driving as a driver performing any activity that takes their attention off the road. Distracted driving can affect the driver, their passengers, and anyone on the roadway around them. Examples of distracted driving include:
- Eating
- Texting
- Talking on the phone or CB radio
- Changing the radio
- Checking a navigation system
Regardless of the distraction, you could file a claim or lawsuit against a distracted truck driver if they cause a crash.
Fatigued Driving
Many truck drivers drive while tired. Unfortunately, fatigued driving can cause the driver to fall asleep behind the wheel. Even a short microsleep could lead to a catastrophic accident — the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) found in a study that 13 percent of commercial truck drivers were tired when they crashed.
Sometimes, truck drivers drive longer than the maximum hours allowed by law to complete their job. However, when they cause an accident because of their fatigue, you could file a claim against the truck driver and their employer.
Reckless Driving
Another common cause of truck accidents includes when a driver engages in reckless driving actions such as:
- Tailgating or driving too close to the vehicle in front of them
- Driving over the speed limit
- Weaving in and out of traffic
- Racing other vehicles
Again, our legal team could help you file a claim against the driver who caused your accident if it occurred because of reckless driving.
