Common Causes of Large Truck Rollover Crashes
Commercial truck rollover accidents can have any number of causes. In some cases, these crashes are caused by the environment, such as wind, ice or rain, truck driver error, insufficient driver training or supervision, maintenance, or a driver attempting to avoid a collision with another vehicle who created a hazardous condition. Examples of common causes and contributing factors for large truck rollover accidents attributable to driver error or truck company error, include:
- Speeding (including driving too fast for current road or weather conditions)
- Steering issues or loss of control
- Improperly loaded cargo
- Distracted driving (including texting behind the wheel, or using in-cab navigation or entertainment systems)
- Drowsy driving
- Drugged driving
- Negligent hiring practices
- Insufficient training or supervision
- Inadequate or improperly performed truck maintenance
Depending on the circumstances of the rollover crash, the liable, or at fault, party could be the commercial truck driver, the company they drive for, the individuals or company tasked with vehicle maintenance, or a truck manufacturer responsible for defective components.
