Dangerous vehicle accidents happen for a variety of reasons. If you have ever been in a car accident, you likely suffered injury or expensive damage to your vehicle. However, 18-wheeler accidents are even more likely to result in injury, vehicle damage, and even fatalities. At the Law Offices of David S. Kohm, we represent those individuals that were involved in an accident with one of these large trucks.

Causes of These Accidents

At David S. Kohm & Associates, we find that 18-wheeler accidents happen for a variety of different reasons. For example:

• The driver of the truck failing to check their blind spots.
• The brakes on the truck not working properly due to lack of maintenance.
• The driver operating their truck in a state of exhaustion or fatigue.
• The driver failing to follow the speed limit and traffic laws set forth for truck drivers to follow.
• Cargo or freight being transported by the truck being improperly secured.

Those who have been involved in 18-wheeler accidents because of one of these factors or another reason should stay on the scene of the accident, call the police, gather information from witnesses, and get necessary medical treatment.
