Common Causes Of Kentucky Truck Accidents

Commercial vehicles weigh up to 80,000 pounds. When drivers or motor carriers cut corners, catastrophic trucking accidents can take place on our local highways. Some of the most common factors involved in trucking crashes include:

• Driver fatigue from violations of federal hours-of-service rules
• Distracted driving
• Improperly secured cargo or overloaded trailers
• Neglected vehicle maintenance
• Brake failure
• Speeding or aggressive driving
• Inadequate driver training

Under KRS § 304.39-060, the Motor Vehicle Reparations Act, you have the right to seek compensation if you have damages from a commercial motor vehicle accident. I will act immediately to preserve driver logs, black box data and vehicle inspection records before the evidence disappears. Then, I collaborate with forensic experts such as accident reconstructionists to investigate crash scenes and uncover the root causes.

What Makes A Truck Crash Different?

In Kentucky, commercial truck accidents are governed by the Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 281 and Chapter 189. Injuries and vehicle damage tend to be more severe after a collision with a commercial truck. However, there are several other important differences between car and truck accidents. Rather than holding one driver responsible for injuries, in truck collisions, there may be other parties involved.

A claim against a truck driver also will likely include getting the driver’s records for how long they were driving and whether they had appropriate breaks. The layers of a claim against a truck driver and trucking company can make it challenging to determine who is at fault and who is responsible for the injuries caused by the wreck.

Who Is Liable? Identifying The Responsible Parties.

Commercial trucking crashes involve far more complex liability than a standard car crash. Often, the driver is not the only party at fault. Other examples are:

• The trucking company: The company that the driver works for is responsible if it failed to train, supervise or fire the driver before the wreck.
• Employees who loaded the truck: When a truck is not loaded properly, the weight can shift, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
• Multiple insurers: Truck companies and their drivers often have several layers of insurance protection.
• Vehicle manufacturers: When a truck does not perform as it should, the manufacturer may be liable.
• Road contractors: When an ongoing road construction project creates unreasonable hazards, it can cause truck accidents.

As an experienced car accident attorney, I conduct independent investigations to hold every negligent party accountable.
