The most frequent causes of traffic accidents involving commercial trucks include fatigued drivers and mechanical failures, such as brake defects and tire blowouts. These factors contribute to severe crashes, including rear-end collisions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/blog\/what-is-a-broadside-collision\/\">broadside collisions<\/a>, lane departures, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/blog\/what-is-a-rollover-accident\/\">rollover accidents<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5238b10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5238b10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bossier-City-Commercial-Truck-Accident-Attorney.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1812\" alt=\"Bossier City Commercial Truck Accident Attorney\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bossier-City-Commercial-Truck-Accident-Attorney.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bossier-City-Commercial-Truck-Accident-Attorney-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bossier-City-Commercial-Truck-Accident-Attorney-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bossier-City-Commercial-Truck-Accident-Attorney-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbe94ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbe94ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Truck drivers often drive faster and work longer hours because of how they are paid. Hours of Service standards limit the number of hours a truck driver may spend behind the wheel in one stretch. However, many still work long hours and travel great distances despite these regulations. When a truck driver operates under unsafe conditions to meet a deadline, fatigue and lack of sleep increase the risk of errors and crashes.<\/p><p>Mechanical failure also plays a major role in serious truck accidents. Inadequate inspections, lack of maintenance, moisture, or overheating can all lead to brake failure. Trucking companies and drivers are required by the federal government to monitor brake conditions at all times. As a result, multiple parties may be accountable for brake failure, including designers and manufacturers. Tire blowouts can also stem from design defects, poor maintenance, or a lack of proper inspection, each of which can cause significant damage on the roadway.<\/p><p>Other common cases our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/personal-injury\/18-wheeler-accident\/\">Louisiana 18-wheeler accident attorneys<\/a> see include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Speeding<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Distracted driving<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Blind spots<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Impaired driving (driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol)<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Overloaded or improperly secured cargo<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Poor weather or road conditions<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Lack of driving training or driver inexperience<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d2b269 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d2b269\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Shreveport-Semi-Truck-Accident-Attorney.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1805\" alt=\"Shreveport Semi-Truck Accident Attorney\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Shreveport-Semi-Truck-Accident-Attorney.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Shreveport-Semi-Truck-Accident-Attorney-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Shreveport-Semi-Truck-Accident-Attorney-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Shreveport-Semi-Truck-Accident-Attorney-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3416530 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3416530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Common Injuries Suffered By Semi Truck Accident Victims<\/h2><p>Motor vehicle accidents of any kind can be devastating, but it is not uncommon for large truck crashes to result in extreme, often debilitating injuries compared to the average passenger vehicle car wreck.

However, this is a critical time, and it\u2019s important to keep a few things in mind that can help keep you safe and also assist you with a future personal injury claim.<\/p><h4>Seek Medical Attention<\/h4><p>Even if you are not in any immediate pain or don\u2019t see any visible injuries, anyone involved in an 18-wheeler accident should seek medical assistance as soon as possible, as many injuries may not be readily apparent, and pain can be masked by the adrenaline surging through your body after the crash.<\/p><h4>Call Police<\/h4><p>It\u2019s critical to make contact with the police as soon as possible after a catastrophic truck accident. This will ensure that help is provided to you, your passengers, and anybody else who may require assistance following the accident. You will also need to file a police report, which is a crucial aspect of your future claim.<\/p><h4>Gather Evidence<\/h4><p>If you are physically able, take photos of the accident scene, including all vehicles involved in the wreck and from all angles. Accident scene photos should also be taken by the officers dispatched to the scene.<\/p><h4>Collect Contact Information<\/h4><p>Be sure to gather important info such as the truck driver\u2019s name, driver\u2019s license number, and insurance information. Also, get the contact details from any eyewitnesses, if possible.\u00a0<\/p><h4>Reach Out to an Attorney<\/h4><p>Next, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer in your local area. This is one of the most important things you can do following a wreck with a semi-truck, whether you believe the other driver is at fault or not. Commercial truck accident cases entail a variety of legal issues, and you will need the assistance of an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mjvergis.com\/personal-injury\/auto-accident-attorney\/commercial-vehicle-accident-lawyer-in-bossier-city-and-shreveport\/\">commercial vehicle accident attorney<\/a> to help sort through these and stand up against the big trucking companies and their legal teams.\u00a0<\/p><h4>Inform Your Insurance Provider<\/h4><p>You\u2019ll also need to let your insurance company know about the wreck. If the trucking company\u2019s insurance carrier reaches out to you, however, remember that you don\u2019t have to and shouldn\u2019t speak with them.

The severity of your injuries is one of the many factors that can impact the length of time it takes to obtain a settlement. The process of gathering evidence, determining liability, demonstrating the truck driver&#8217;s negligence, and the court&#8217;s availability are additional factors that influence the settlement time frame. Not only that, but because more than one at-fault party may be found during the investigation, achieving compensation can take a long time.<\/p><p>Serious injuries are not a prerequisite for filing a claim for compensation. However, this type of injury may require long-term care or recovery time and necessitate considerable damages. As a result, the presence of severe injuries can significantly lengthen the amount of time it takes to obtain a settlement.
