Truck Driver Error
Whether an accident involves vehicle on vehicle collision, striking pedestrians, or crashes into stationary objects, there is always a potential for deadly repercussions. However, when a commercial truck driver is responsible for causing an accident, the adverse effects are likely to be amplified due to the size and weight of an 18-wheeler.
Do not be misled by a trucking company, truck driver, or insurance company. You have the legal right to seek financial compensation beyond a simple insurance settlement, particularly in cases of truck driver negligence.

What is Truck Driver Error or Negligence?
The concepts of truck driver error and truck driver negligence might seem a bit vague without further explanation. By contrast, driver recklessness is comparatively easier to understand because any actions that bear on a driver’s ability to safely operate a vehicle can be considered reckless. Truck driver errors and negligence may include:
- Depressing the Wrong Pedal (i.e., braking when acceleration is needed and vice versa)
- Distracted Driving (i.e., talking on a cell phone, adjusting the radio, eating, drinking, etc.)
- Failure to Check Side Mirrors
- Failure to Signal Lane Change or Turn
