Negligence and Commercial Vehicle Accidents
Commercial vehicle drivers, such as delivery truck drivers and garbage truck drivers, have a greater propensity for causing an accident. These vehicle operators are performing multiple tasks at one time, processing information and taking into considerations things such as timing, schedules and communicating with others. In addition, the size and weight disparity between trucks and motor vehicles makes for more severe consequences if a collision were to occur.
Drivers will often drive in a very aggressive manner, making illegal U-turns and turning the wrong way on one-way streets. Drivers do this in order to avoid the need for extra driving and to make up for lost time. Commercial vehicle drivers often do not consider others on the road, causing unnecessary tension and intimidation, which can lead to a higher chance of roadway accidents, including:
- Head-on collisions
- Rear-end collisions
- Intersection collisions
