TAMPA DRIVER ERROR ACCIDENTS LAWYER
We are familiar with the common factors in trucking accidents that trace back to the driver:
- Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
- Running a red light, stop sign or yield sign
- Talking or texting on a cellphone
- Fatigue from driving too many hours in a row
- Changing lanes without looking or signaling
- Following too closely
- Pulling out into oncoming traffic
- Aggressive driving
- Failure to inspect the truck and cargo before a trip
Working with accident reconstruction experts, our firm fully investigates the cause of a truck accident. By analyzing skid marks, point of impact on the vehicles, black boxes, logbooks, maintenance logbooks, truckers’ cellphone records, witness statements and more, we can piece together the cause of the accident to identify all liable parties.
Dangerously Distracted Truckers
In a 2009 study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute that put cameras in the cabs of 18-wheelers, drivers who were texting while driving were 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident. On average, truckers involved in crashes or near crashes stopped looking at the road for about five seconds at a time to send or receive text messages — long enough for the tractor-trailer to travel 100 yards at highway speed!
