Truck Accidents
PERSONAL INJURY
Truck accidents can result in severe personal injury and fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, 4,998 large truck and buses were involved in fatal crashes, and 108,000 in crashes resulting in severe injuries.
Tips to prevent truck accidents
To prevent truck accidents, it is important to take safety precautions such as:
Stay visible
Always make sure the truck driver can see you and avoid blind spots.
Keep a safe distance
Trucks require more time and distance to stop than cars, so maintain a safe following distance.
Avoid cutting off
Avoid cutting in front of trucks or suddenly changing lanes in front of them as this can cause the truck driver to brake suddenly and cause an accident.
Avoid distracted driving
Distracted driving is dangerous for all drivers, but it is especially hazardous when sharing the road with large trucks.
Keep your vehicle maintained
Regular maintenance and inspection of your vehicle can prevent equipment failures that may lead to accidents.
It is essential to act quickly after an accident. Take photos of the scene and any damage, and seek medical attention immediately. It is also important to obtain contact information from witnesses and the drivers involved, and to call the police.
