Semi-trucks are part of the American road, bringing goods to market and helping to stock store shelves. However, there are times when the improper operation or maintenance of a tractor-trailer leads to a devastating crash or an injurious collision with a passenger vehicle.

• Fatigue – Trying to meet the pressures of an unrealistic delivery schedule may cause a truck driver to ignore federal guidelines and drive with too little sleep. Studies have shown time and again that a fatigued driver is just as dangerous as a drunk driver.
  
  
• Improperly Secured Load – An unsecured load may shift in transit, causing a dropped load or a truck rollover.
  
  
• Improperly Maintained Vehicles – A truck must be inspected regularly. Worn tires may shred and faulty brakes may give out.
  
  
• Unsafe Driving – A trucker may drive aggressively, underestimate his truck’s weight and maneuverability, or be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
