Common Causes of Truck Accidents in Forney

Commercial trucks are heavy, difficult to maneuver, and prone to mechanical failures. Many crashes are caused by negligent truck drivers or trucking companies looking to cut costs at the expense of safety.

Some of the leading causes of truck accidents include:


  • Fatigued driving (violating hours-of-service regulations)
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
  • Poor truck maintenance and brake failures
  • Drunk or drug-impaired truck drivers
  • Distracted driving (cell phone use, GPS adjustments)
