Truck Accident Causes

The New York truck accident lawyers at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP understand there are multiple causes of truck accidents. We are prepared to prove that the brain injury, personal injury that your loved one or you sustained was caused by unsafe conduct on the part of the truck driver or the trucking company.

When a truck driver or tractor-trailer driver violates safety regulations, when a trucking company fails to employ competent drivers, and fails to properly maintain their trucks and a serious injury or a fatality results, the New York truck accident attorneys at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP can assist you in obtaining the justice you deserve.

Here are some of the most frequent causes of trucking accidents:

  • Unsafe loads
  • Driver Fatigue
  • Poor Truck Maintenance
  • Failure to obey stop signs
  • Failure to obey red lights
  • Failure to obey speed laws
  • Failure to keep a safe distance from the car in front
  • Failure to observe the roadway ahead and traffic conditions
  • Failure to yield the right of way
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Improper and unsafe turns
  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Cell phone usage

At De Caro & Kaplen, LLP we are familiar with the rules of the road, the causes of truck and tractor trailer accidents, and the steps that must be taken in court to prove that the trucking accident was not your fault.

If the brain injury, head injury, or other personal injury to you or a loved one was caused by the negligence of a tractor trailer, big rig ,or truck driver, the New York based truck accident lawyers at De Caro & Kaplen, LLP can assist you.
