Most Common Causes Of Truck Accidents In Palm Beach Gardens

Truck accidents can range from minor to catastrophic, often leaving victims with severe injuries and long-term consequences.

Some of the most common causes include:

  • Distracted Driving: Truckers may be distracted by cell phones, GPS devices, or other in-cab activities, increasing the risk of accidents.
  • Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Failing to properly maintain trucks can lead to mechanical failures, such as brake malfunctions or tire blowouts.
  • Fatigue: Long driving hours with insufficient rest impair judgment and reaction time, making accidents more likely.
  • Speeding: Truck drivers may exceed speed limits to meet delivery deadlines, increasing the risk of losing control of their vehicles.
  • Improper Loading: Overloaded or unbalanced cargo can make trucks difficult to control and more prone to tipping over.
  • Alcohol And Drug Use: Substance use impairs coordination, slows reaction time, and increases the likelihood of a crash.
  • Inclement Weather: Rain, fog, or strong winds can make it more difficult for truck drivers to safely maneuver their vehicles.
  • Poor Road Conditions: Potholes, construction zones, and uneven surfaces can cause drivers to lose control.
  • Aggressive Driving: Tailgating, sudden lane changes, or reckless maneuvers can create dangerous situations leading to collisions.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
