He has witnessed the devastation caused by these accidents, and he will fight aggressively to help you receive the compensation you deserve. Please call 760.804.2790 today to schedule your free consultation with our auto accident lawyer in San Marcos.

Causes of Truck Accidents

The majority of truck accidents are the result of negligence by the trucking company, truck driver, or truck manufacturer. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if truck drivers and trucking companies made safety a greater priority.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

  • Lack of proper truck driver training
  • Poorly maintained trucks
  • Truck driver fatigue
  • Unbalanced truck loads
  • Unrealistic schedules that place pressure on truck drivers to exceed the federally mandated hours of service limitations
  • Aggressive or reckless driving by a truck driver
  • Overloaded trucks
  • Drug and alcohol use by the truck driver during a shift

A Complex Area of Law

Your San Marcos truck accident lawyer must be familiar with these laws and understand how they will impact your case.

  • Truck driver
  • Trucking company
