Common Causes of Delivery Truck Accidents

Commercial truck drivers endure the pressure of having to quickly complete a long route every day. The stress of meeting strict deadlines and schedules can lead to driving errors or poor judgment.

Some common causes of delivery truck accidents in California include:

  • Driving while distracted
  • Looking for addresses/delivery drop-off locations
  • Failing to use turn signals
  • Speeding
  • Violating traffic laws/rules of the road
  • Failure to yield the right-of-way
  • Running red lights or stop signs
  • Drunk driving
  • Fatigued driving
  • Unlawful stops

The law seeks to hold delivery truck drivers responsible when they act carelessly or negligently and such acts lead to injury or death. However, delivery truck drivers are not always at fault for an accident, and other people or parties could be potentially liable in your case.

Liability in Delivery Truck Accident Claims

One of the main tasks our Santa Clarita delivery truck accident attorneys will have is to determine who is liable for your accident. If the truck driver was negligent, but he or she is considered an employee of his or her company, the employer may be legally liable. In other cases, when the driver is an independent contractor, you may need to seek damages directly with the at-fault driver’s liability insurance provider.

Additionally, outlying factors could play a critical role in determining who our attorneys will file a claim against for damages. If another motorist was negligent, and this is what led to the crash, we may need to file a claim with that motorist’s auto insurance company. If a truck parts manufacturer created and distributed a defect delivery truck part, and this led to the wreck, you could have grounds for a product liability claim. In the event the accident was the result of poor delivery truck maintenance, the person or party responsible for conducting said maintenance could be responsible.

There are many variables involved in establishing and proving liability in your delivery truck accident case. It’s important that you work with a knowledgeable attorney who understands how these cases work and who knows how to evaluate all available evidence to build the strongest case possible on your behalf.
