unfortunately truck accidents are all
too common um and the general reason
these occur is when you have an 80,000
pound truck either overweight over hours
fatigue drivers poor brakes wide loads
when that collides with a 2000lb car um
it’s just going to be a horrific outcome
and they’re way too common
there are federal laws out there that
restrict the hours of service the
weights that you can have on a vehicle
and if drivers adhere to all of that we
would get rid of a lot of these horrible
accidents unfortunately when they’re
pushed for profit delivery times and
schedules they’re not going to obey the
laws and horrific accidents are going to happen
Columbia, SC personal injury attorney Mark D. Chappell talks about the most common truck accidents.
