Dealing With Delivery Truck & Insurance Companies
Delivery truck drivers are often given tight deadlines. Those deadlines may cause some drivers to make an inappropriate decision, such as speeding. Large trucks cannot stop as quickly as a passenger vehicle. Speeding or other traffic violations such as improper lane changes, can cause unfortunate results for everyone involved.
Statistics show that while only 3% of vehicles on the road are commercial trucks, they are responsible for more than 10% of wrecks. Sadly, many drivers of commercial trucks may not get enough sleep or a good quality of sleep. Some companies break the law by hiring drivers who are not qualified and do not hold the proper license.
Injuries caused by delivery truck accidents are often severe. This type of accident can turn a person’s life upside down. It is important that you receive medical care right away and report the accident. Get a copy of the police report and contact the Department of Motor Vehicles.
