Here we have supplied three tips to help keep you from having an accident.  

3 Easy Tips for Accident Prevention  

Recent research shows that drivers often do not come to a full stop at stop signs.  

This irresponsible and lazy type of driving behavior could lead to dangerous consequences. Furthermore, intersections are where many crashes occur. 

By following three simple tips, drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists can all stay a little safer.  

1)      Come to a complete stop at the painted stop line or before the crosswalk. Moreover, if there are no sidewalk markings, stop just before the stop sign.  

2)       Look for any risks before entering the intersection by looking left, right, straight ahead and then left again.  

3)      If another vehicle is stopped ahead of you at the stop sign:  

  -Stop where you can still see the tires of the vehicle ahead of you.  

-When the vehicle ahead of you begins to move, count two seconds before you continue to the stop sign. 

Involved in an Accident with A Big Rig?  

Furthermore, one of the first things you need to do is to talk to a personal injury lawyer. They are experts at battling the insurance company and looking out for your best interests.  

Accidents of this kind can result in mountains of medical bills and a lifetime need for medical attention. This is overwhelming, and victims are often tempted to accept exceptionally low settlement offers from insurers. Of course, insurers try to close the case quickly, saving time and money.  

In most cases, 75% of people killed or critically injured are passengers in cars, vans, and small trucks. So, this is no surprise given the size and weight of a large rig.  

Besides the danger of a truck driver’s own negligence, the vehicle itself can pose a danger to other drivers. Sometimes, trucks are loaded incorrectly or are not inspected before the driver starts his run. Also, mechanical failures while a truck is in service can lead to loss of control over the 40-ton vehicle.  

Freight that has been poorly loaded can drop off the truck and damage and hurt unsuspecting motorists. Unfortunately, these are just a few issues facing commercial truck owners and drivers.  

Subsequently, insurance companies standing for these big–truck owners will always look out for the companies’ best interests, and not yours. Therefore, it is important to not accept the first offer. In addition, a personal injury lawyer will know how to handle the insurance business.  

With interstate roads under constant construction and maintenance it becomes an even greater challenge to share the roads with these humongous trucks.  

So, it only makes sense that with more of them on the road with us, driving is getting more dangerous. As a result, accidents involving commercial trucks, such as 18-wheelers, are far more deadly than accidents involving cars.  

WHY SO MANY ACCIDENTS?  

Trucks are involved in about 11% of all traffic accidents. Over the years, increased regulation and tougher requirements in the trucking industry have been credited with playing a significant role in reducing the number and severity of truck crashes.  

By 2009, the death toll was less than half what they had been 30 years earlier. However, several factors appear to have played a role in the next increase in fatal crashes, including more trucks on the road, driving millions more miles each year.  

The driving habits of those operating cars also play a role in many truck accidents.  

Trucks of all kinds should be approached with care in any traffic situation, whether a van in your neighborhood or an 18-wheeler on the highway. Too often, drivers do not allow for fundamental differences in the way trucks work, from brakes to general maneuverability.  

Moreover, they lurk in the “no-see zones” the areas beside or behind a truck where the driver has little or no visibility. In addition, they change lanes sharply in front of the truck or misjudge an oncoming truck’s speed when turning left at an intersection, and so forth.  

Of course, the commercial truck driver or the firm that owns the truck may also be factors. Moreover, things such as driver fatigue, and irresponsible driving to gain distance, or even unsafe equipment can turn an 18-wheeler into an accident waiting to happen.  

ISSUES OF LIABILITY IN A TRUCK ACCIDENT LAWSUIT  

There are a lot of federal regulations that spell out the requirements for using large trucks safely as well as protecting the public. For example, there are hours-of-service regulations that show how many hours a single driver can work an oversize truck within a day. However, driver fatigue, substance abuse and claims where some companies are encouraging drivers to ignore hourly limits still are regular problems.  

Depending on the circumstances of the accident, the trucking company may also have allegations of carelessness. Such as questions about its training and hiring procedures, how it supports and services its equipment, or compliance with other regulations.  

If you have suffered injuries in a car-truck crash, then you will need an experienced truck crash law firm that knows how to handle and contest such cases.  

Do not make the mistake of assuming that the trucking company and their insurers will treat you fairly if you do not have a strong advocate on your side. In addition, a lawyer who specializes in truck accidents will know how to analyze the facts and find the issues that should be pursued in court if a lawsuit is necessary.
