Phoenix Truck Driver Error Attorneys
Arizona and interstate law hold truck drivers to very high degrees of responsibility. Since trucks are more massive, more difficult to maneuver, and generally more accident-prone than other vehicles, it’s imperative that operators, truck companies, and maintenance crews exercise an abundance of caution and excellent judgment. Unfortunately, if any of these parties fails to adhere to these high standards, disasters can result.
Some common sources of Arizona driver error and/or negligence include:
- Driver speeds or drives recklessly.
- Driver drives over hours and is fatigued or falls asleep, thus causing the accident
- Driver ignores hazardous road conditions.
- Driver fails to maintain vehicle according to proper protocol and regulation.
- Driver does not keep a log of his hours in the trailer as required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Statute 395.3.
- Driver fails to react appropriately to potential accident conditions (e.g. does not swerve or hit the brakes to avoid a collision despite being given adequate warning).
- Driver flees the scene of an accident (hit and run).
- Driver does not provide adequate warning to other cars, trucks, or pedestrians.
- Driver operates vehicle while high on methamphetamines or marijuana or otherwise intoxicated.
- Driver acts generally carelessly.
- Driver has a past history of driving negligently or carelessly.
- Driver disobeys or fails to notice warning signs, traffic lights, or other obvious signals on or off the road.
