Common Types of Truck Accidents in Phoenixville

Truck accidents can take many forms, each carrying unique dangers:

  • Rear-End Collisions: Occur when a truck fails to stop in time, often due to distracted driving, following too closely, or brake failure.
  • Jackknife Accidents: When the trailer swings out at a sharp angle, often caused by sudden braking or slippery conditions.
  • Tire Blowouts: Poor maintenance, overloading, or debris can cause blowouts that make drivers lose control.
  • Rollovers: High speeds, sharp turns, or uneven cargo can cause trucks to flip, endangering everyone nearby.
  • Wide Turn Accidents: Large trucks require more space to turn, sometimes colliding with pedestrians, cyclists, or nearby vehicles.
  • Underride Accidents: Among the deadliest accidents, these happen when smaller vehicles slide under a truck’s trailer.
  • Head-On Collisions: Rare but extremely dangerous, often resulting in fatal injuries.

Understanding the type of accident is key to determining how it happened and who may be responsible.

Leading Causes of Truck Accidents

Many truck accidents in Chester County and across Pennsylvania result from preventable negligence, such as:

  • Driver Fatigue: Long hours behind the wheel increase the risk of drowsy driving.
  • Distracted Driving: Texting, eating, or using in-cab devices divert attention from the road.
  • Speeding & Aggressive Driving: Tight deadlines pressure drivers to exceed safe speeds.
  • Impaired Driving: Alcohol or drug use impairs judgment and reaction time.
  • Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Worn brakes, tires, and other failures can cause deadly crashes.
  • Overloaded or Improperly Loaded Cargo: Increases the risk of rollovers and loss of control.
  • Hazardous Weather: Ice, snow, fog, or heavy rain make it harder for large trucks to stop and maneuver safely.

When negligence plays a role, our attorneys work tirelessly to hold the at-fault parties accountable.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Truck Accident?

Unlike standard car accidents, determining liability in a truck crash often involves multiple parties:

  • Truck Driver: May be liable for reckless, impaired, or distracted driving.
  • Trucking Company: Responsible for hiring qualified drivers, enforcing safety rules, and maintaining vehicles.
  • Truck Manufacturer: Defective brakes, tires, or other parts may contribute to crashes.
  • Cargo Loaders: Unsafe or unbalanced cargo can cause rollovers and loss of control.
  • Government Agencies: Poorly maintained roads or inadequate signage may contribute to collisions.

Our team conducts thorough investigations, reviewing driver logs, black box data, maintenance records, and accident reports to identify every responsible party.
