What Are Common Causes Of Truck Accidents In Hawai’i?
Truck accidents in Hawai’i can be the result of various factors, including:
- Distracted driving: Truck drivers may be distracted by cell phones, navigation systems or eating while driving. Distracted driving is often linked to negligence.
- Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours, and driver fatigue can lead to slower reaction times or falling asleep behind the wheel.
- Improperly loaded cargo: Commercial trucks carrying improperly secured or overweight cargo are at risk of tipping over or losing control, causing dangerous accidents on the road.
- Mechanical failures: Faulty brakes, tire blowouts or other mechanical issues in large trucks can lead to catastrophic crashes.
Understanding these causes can help determine the responsible party and strengthen your case.
Who Can Be Found Negligent In A Semi-Truck Crash In Honolulu?
In a semi-truck accident, multiple parties may be found negligent, including:
- The truck driver if they were engaging in reckless or distracted driving
- The trucking company for failing to maintain their vehicles properly or if they pushed their drivers to work beyond regulated hours
In some cases, manufacturers of truck parts may be responsible if mechanical failure contributed to the accident.
What Evidence Can Help Your Truck Accident Claim?
Because trucking accidents often involve large commercial vehicles and multiple responsible parties and insurance companies, proving fault requires thorough:
- Police report documenting the accident
- Eyewitness statements
- Driver logbooks and trucking company records
- Surveillance or dashcam footage
- Medical records showing the extent of your injuries
- Photos of the accident scene and vehicle damage
By working with me, I can help you hold the responsible party accountable for your injuries and losses.
