Below is a list of some of the top causes of semi-truck accidents happening in Boynton Beach:
The number of hours a truck driver can work is limited by federal regulations. However, drivers do not always follow these regulations. When this happens, drivers may become exhausted and fall asleep, resulting in serious accidents.
Texting while driving, eating, adjusting the radio, or typing into a GPS system can also lead to accidents. Distracted driving is a problem all drivers face, but it is particularly dangerous when 18-wheeler truck drivers become distracted
The use of alcohol or stimulants, such as Adderall or other amphetamines, can impair reaction time, perception, and judgement. Truck drivers may use amphetamines to help them stay awake for long drives. Using these drugs, however, can have devastating effects.
Driving a large load takes specialized training and skill. When drivers are not properly trained or lack the requisite experience to be driving a large truck accidents can occur.
Failure to properly load cargo can result in an improper weight distribution in the truck. This can cause jack-knifing or make the truck hard to maneuver and lead to an accident.

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a scan using radio waves and magnetic fields to create images of internal tissues and organs without using radiation. Many people involved in 18 wheeler crashes cannot visibly see an injury or immediately feel pain. As such, they dismiss seeking immediate medical attention to asses their health post-accident. It is important to remember that the adrenaline one feels after being involved in a crash can mask pain. Inflammation may also take up to three days to take place in the body after an accident. It is even possible to have fractures or tears in tissues without immediately knowing.
Getting an MRI can enhance the validity of a 18 wheeler injury claim. Injuries that cannot be seen visually or through an x-ray will be revealed in an MRI. The most common types of injury after a big rig collision that are hidden but revealed with the help of an MRI are: spinal cord, brain, head, internal, back, neck, tissue and muscle damage.
Insurance companies do not like to pay for MRI’s because they are costly. Insurance companies may even deny a patient’s claim for coverage saying that it’s not necessary, and when appealed, deny the appeal. With an experienced Ovadia Law Group semi accident attorney, you can make sure your health is protected by working with doctors who will ensure you receive the care you need and deserve after being involved in a truck accident.
