At the Law Offices of Henry Gare the most common causes that we see are the following:
- Inadequate or no driver training.
- Truck drivers overscheduled by trucking companies resulting in speeding or inadequate rest periods.
- Commercial drivers allowed to drive even with a record of traffic violations and accidents.
- Driving while drowsy or suffering fatigue, under the influence of prescription or illegal drugs, or while intoxicated.
