• What Are Some Of The Most Common Causes Of Trucking Or Commercial Vehicle Accidents That You See Happen Across California?

There are several reasons why accidents trucking accidents tend to be more destructive than, for instance, accidents involving passenger vehicles.

• Size: Obviously, one of the main reasons that trucking accidents are so destructive is the sheer size of trucks and the attached trailers, as well as the weight of the loads they carry. 18-wheeler trucks can legally carry 80,000 pounds of cargo at any given time. It is easy to see how a passenger sedan would fare poorly in a collision with a truck that large.
• Brake Capacity: Because trucks are so large, it is often difficult for them to come to sudden and complete stops. This means that it is more difficult for a truck driver to avoid an accident that they may have been able to avoid had they been operating a passenger vehicle.
• Increased Risk of Drivers: Though there are law, rules, and regulations in place to address this issue, long-haul truckers often operate on less sleep than they need to be completely alert. These drivers are often under enormous pressure to make good time, requiring them to stay up for marathon drives. With less sleep, drivers have less of a handle on their reflexes, which makes it harder to react in real time and avoid accidents.
