Every New York truck accident is different, of course, and a number of different factors may be cited as the cause of any delivery truck wreck. Driver inattention is a problem for all motorists. Nearly one-fifth of all truck accidents involve driver distraction. That prompted Congress to pass a law last January that prohibited truck drivers from texting while driving.
Driver fatigue is another common cause; while legal regulations limit the number of consecutive hours a driver can be behind the wheel, some drivers may not pay attention or adhere to these regulations. In certain cases, trucking companies push their drivers to deliver cargo faster, leading drivers to drive through fatigue, to speed or to drive recklessly. Delivery trucks in New York City face additional issues when they park on narrow streets to unload their deliveries. Many trucks double park or park in bus lanes, opening possibilities for other accidents.
The accident lawyers at David Resnick & Associates, P.C. know that a trucking accident can leave the victim's life in chaos. Truck accidents can cause serious back injuries, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, broken bones, dismemberment or injuries serious enough to lead to amputation, whiplash and even death. Victims may also suffer emotional problems after their injury. It may take months or years to physically and emotionally recover from a truck accident.
