Common Causes of Truck Accidents in North Alabama
Truck accidents can happen for a variety of reasons, many of which stem from negligence on the part of the truck driver and/or the trucking company. Trucks, by their nature, are more dangerous than cars and other passenger vehicles, and even the smallest lapse in judgment can cause an accident. Even one oversight during the operation or maintenance of the vehicle can lead to a serious problem down the road.
