Truck accidents occur for a variety of reasons. While some of these accidents may be the result of another driver's negligence, certain accidents are caused by truck drivers' negligence.

For instance, a truck driver and the driver's employer have the responsibility of properly maintaining the truck. If the brakes break, the tires wear down, or the brake lights do not work, then the truck driver or the driver's employer may be responsible for any accident damages.
