Truck Accident in Cocoa

What Are Common Causes of Truck Accidents?

When an auto insurer refuses to pay a reasonable labor rate, this can hurt your auto body shop or collision center’s bottom line.

Poor road conditions not fit for truck driving.

Terrible conditions such as snow, rain, fog and very heavy wind can pose a very dangerous threat to other vehicles.

Unsafe road conditions.

Unpaved roads or potholes littered all over can increase the risk of a big rig accident. Narrow roads give less spacing for each lane, increasing danger. No shoulders means there is no ability to stop in an emergency or be able to avoid danger.

The driver has had improper training or is inadequate at driving his 18 wheeler.

This type of driver will not have the required defensive training. They may not have enough training to drive their truck or know of any other safety procedures. A lack of these skills may put any one around the drive at great risk.

Truck driver is not familiar with the roads ahead.

If they are not ready to handle the rough narrow turns, they might lose control and end up in a big rig crash.

Poor maintenance leading to mechanical failure.

Documentation is required for all maintenance of the semi-truck. Failing to do so does lead to unfortunate crashes, most of which were likely very possible to avoid altogether.

My injuries aren’t severe a day after the crash, do I still need a Cocoa Truck Accident Attorney?

Never judge your injuries alone. Any chance you may have an opportunity to see a doctor, we absolutely suggest that you go see a doctor or have anyone with a profession to examine you. Potential complications can come up later in the week or even the week after that. If you wish to have any compensation to cover for any issues that may arise later, you must visit promptly after the truck crash. It is very likely that the other party will bring up the fact you took long to receive treatment. They may even claim it has nothing to do with the semi-truck collision. Without any representation, no one would argue that point and you would miss out on much needed relief. It is for this reason we recommend to hire an 18 wheeler wreck attorney. Once signed up, we will keep track of your records. With those in check, we will be in line to receive proper compensation for any injury.
