Truck Driver Error / Negligence
Truck drivers need to carefully follow the rules of the road and prioritize safety when they are operating semi trucks and 18-wheelers. If a truck driver fails to uphold these important responsibilities, he or she can increase the possibility of a truck accident occurring. Due to the size and weight of large commercial trucks, even a minor driving mistake can cause catastrophic damages to other motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. However, victims injured because of a truck driver’s negligence may be eligible to pursue financial compensation for the costs involved with their injuries.
If you or someone you love has sustained an injury in a truck accident caused by truck driver error, you may be legally entitled to pursue compensation for your damages. For a free consultation with a qualified legal professional regarding the next steps you should take, contact the experienced Denver truck driver error attorneys of Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today at (303) 423-1770.
Common Truck Driver Mistakes
Truck drivers are responsible for preventing accidents by keeping the safety of others in mind at all times while they drive. The following mistakes are unacceptable, as they may result in serious injuries for others on the road:
- Failing to check blind spots
- Changing lanes without signaling
- Speeding
- Rolling through stop signs or traffic lights
- Failing to pay attention to road signs
Negligent truck drivers should be held accountable for the mistakes they make so that they do not commit these dangerous errors again.
