Common Causes of Truck Rollover Accidents in Florida
A rollover accident occurs when the truck rolls over on its side. It may continue to roll over so that it is upside down. The number of times the truck rolls depends on the circumstances of the crash. For example, a truck could roll over multiple times if it leaves the road and rolls down an embankment.
The causes of rollover truck accidents include human error, environmental hazards, mechanical failure, and other factors. Examples include:
- Driver negligence, including speeding, taking turns too fast, impaired driving, distracted driving, and fatigued/drowsy driving
- Shifting loads because of improper loading or overloading
- Road conditions, including weather and road hazards
- Violations of Florida traffic laws
- Inadequate maintenance and repairs
- Lack of driver training in rollover prevention techniques
- Other motorists cutting off semi-trucks
- Poor or defectively designed highways and roadways
- Overcorrecting or jerking the steering wheel
- Tire blowouts and mechanical malfunctions
- Defective trucks and truck parts
Several factors could contribute to the cause of a truck rollover accident. Our legal team identifies all factors to determine the parties responsible for your damages. We pursue each party to maximize the recovery for your claim.
