Why Dump Truck Accidents Occurs

There are numerous factors that can cause or contribute to a dump truck accident in New Jersey. Some of the most frequent causes of dump truck accidents include:

• Excessive speeding
• Unsafe turns
• Failing to signal before turns or lane changes
• Tailgating, or following another vehicle too closely
• Distracted driving
• Fatigued or drowsy driving
• Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
• Lack of training or driver’s unfamiliarity with a truck
• Broken or failing component, often due to deferred or improperly performed maintenance
• Design or manufacturing defects in truck components

Many dump truck accidents arise when dump truck drivers and the companies that operate them disregard regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the state of New Jersey to ensure the safe operation of these vehicles on public roads. For example, drivers and companies may fail to perform required inspections, or drivers may exceed the hours-of-service limitations on their duty shifts.

Determining the cause or causes of a dump truck accident requires a thorough investigation by experienced legal professionals in coordination with accident reconstruction, engineering, and trucking industry experts.
