Schedule a Free ConsultationOur Injury Lawyers Understand Liability in Hayden 18-Wheeler Accidents
Many truck accidents occur in the same ways as other Hayden, ID, auto accidents. A driver makes a mistake, violates a traffic law or another regulation, and this causes a collision. However, truck drivers must follow additional state and federal trucking regulations and have special training and experience to drive big rigs.
Some ways a careless commercial driver could cause a crash include:
- Failing to check blind spots
- Improper lane switching
- Failing to yield the right of way, especially when turning left
- Running red lights
- Failing to signal turns or lane changes
- Tailgating smaller vehicles
- Braking too late or too hard
- Taking turns too fast
Some other actions that could contribute to collisions include:
- Driving too fast for road or weather conditions
- Inadequate truck maintenance
- Overloading or improperly securing cargo
- Fatigue from exceeding hours of service limits
- Ignoring weight restrictions
Liability Often Falls on the Trucking Company
To recover compensation for you, our tractor-trailer collision lawyers must gather evidence to show what happened and why. Even when the driver caused the crash, we typically file our case against their employer, often a large trucking company. This is possible because Idaho allows us to hold employers vicariously liable for their workers’ negligence. Sometimes, trucking companies can be directly liable for accidents, too.
