Trucking accidents are severe in nature and often cause major damage and even fatalities. The size and weight of trucks leads to even slow-speed accidents causing lingering injuries such as whiplash. Most truck accidents occur due to driver errors such as speeding, negligence, driving under the influence of alcohol and driver fatigue. Trucks themselves contribute to many accidents, as mechanical problems, braking failures, tire blowouts and unbalanced or overweight loads all can be what causes a trucking accident. Trucking accidents are also the most deadly on the road, as statistically more fatalities occur during these accidents than any other type of accident.
