Car accidents with semi-trucks
Charlotte car accident lawyers are all too experienced with the reality that semi trucks are extremely dangerous to drivers who share the road with them. Their size alone makes them cumbersome and unwieldy in crowded traffic at high speeds. In this article we are going to discuss some of the most common situations that often result in semi truck accidents, here are a few:
Truck driver fatigue
There are so many misconceptions about truck driving, and one of the most common misconceptions is that truck driving is a pretty easy job. Most people think that you just get behind the wheel and drive to a particular destination. Although the task may seem pretty simple, getting the goods to their destination on time often requires driving very long hours across the country. This means that many truck drivers get by on very little sleep. This lack of sleep for truck drivers, often results in them falling asleep or losing concentration while they are driving. Unfortunately, truck drivers often feel compelled to push on to meet deadlines, and end up driving, even when they are inadequately rested.
