Staying Safe and Seeking Justice After a Minneapolis Truck Accident

We strive to provide compassionate support while vigorously defending your rights and securing the compensation you deserve.
Truck accidents in Minneapolis can occur for various reasons, many of which involve negligence on the part of the truck driver or trucking company. One common cause is driving when fatigued. Despite regulations aimed at ensuring drivers get adequate rest, the pressure to meet deadlines often leads to drowsy driving, which can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Another significant risk factor is reckless driving. This includes unsafe practices such as unsafe passing, speeding, and aggressive driving. These behaviors, especially in a large truck, dramatically increase the likelihood of causing an accident. Similarly, distracted driving continues to be a problem despite widespread awareness of its dangers. A moment’s distraction can lead to irreversible consequences.
The condition of the truck itself also plays a role in road safety. Defective equipment, such as brake failure or steering issues, can lead to catastrophic accidents. It is the responsibility of trucking companies to maintain their fleets, but sadly, inadequate training and cutting corners can lead to oversights that jeopardize everyone on the road.
Unsecured cargo and loads that exceed capacity are other hazards that can cause accidents. Improperly secured or overly heavy loads can shift unexpectedly, causing the truck to tip or veer out of control. Furthermore, unrealistic schedules can push drivers to rush, bypassing safety checks that would typically prevent such issues.
