Common Causes of Chula Vista Truck Accidents

Chula Vista, as part of San Diego County, is located close to some of the busiest highways and freeways in California. Numerous commercial vehicle use these roads on a daily basis, as they transport heavy loads across California and, perhaps, to and from Mexico. With these trucks weighing up to 80,000lb when fully loaded – equivalent to around 16 standard cars or SUVs – the consequences of a collision can be devastating. As experienced Chula Vista truck accident attorneys, we know all too well just how catastrophic a wreck involving a large commercial vehicle can be.

As with other types of traffic accident, there are countless reasons why a truck accident may occur, with some of the most common including:

Unscrupulous trucking firms incentivizing their drivers to deliver ahead of schedule, essentially paying their employees more to skip their mandatory rest breaks. When a truck driver is tired, their reflexes will be compromised. While driving a vehicle that is heavy, cumbersome, and requires a lengthy stopping distance, fatigue can be fatal
Trucks can often require two lanes in order to turn. When a truck driver fails to adequately check their surroundings before committing to this maneuver, nearby motorists can be seriously injured
Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI). It is important to be aware that legal drugs, prescribed by your physician, may impair your judgement and reactions as much as illegal drugs can
Driving at excessive speeds
Distracted driving, which can be caused by using a cellphone, adjusting the truck radio or GPS, or eating or drinking while behind the wheel
