Unfortunately, many trucking companies and drivers don\u2019t follow our rules of the road. In 2018, 10,079 trucks crashed in our state, causing 2,629 injuries and 121 deaths in Alabama alone. These numbers have increased steadily since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big trucks don\u2019t make Alabama roads safer for drivers like you. In this blog, the Andy Citrin team outlines some of the most common causes of Alabama truck accidents, and how you can protect yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alabama\u2019s Top Causes of Truck Accidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any number of factors can cause a big truck to crash. While some causes are relatively obvious, many are subtle and easily missed; some trucking companies will even hide their mistakes and \u201close\u201d evidence that supports your claims. To fight back, you\u2019ll need an aggressive <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/alabama\/truck-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20455\">Alabama truck accident lawyer<\/a> who understands the art of truck wreck investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, the Alabama Department of Transportation publishes detailed crash data. In 2018, the top causes of truck accidents included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improper lane changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failing to yield the right of way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/mobile-tailgating-accident-attorney\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15587\">Tailgating<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insufficient stopping distances<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Defective and dangerous truck and car parts, such as tires and brakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improper turning techniques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/high-speed-accident-lawyer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15573\">Speeding and driving too fast for the conditions<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Crossing the median, center line, or running off the road<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ignoring traffic lights and signs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improper passing techniques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/drowsy-driving-is-just-as-dangerous-as-drunk-driving\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16961\">Drowsy driving or falling asleep at the wheel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drunk and drugged driving<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other common causes of truck wrecks include improper loading, inadequate truck driver training, and trucking company coercion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/causes-of-truck-accidents\/\"><strong>Causes of Truck Accidents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple Tactics Can Prevent or Reduce the Severity of a Truck Wreck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study, 87% of truck crashes were caused by some form of driver error or misconduct. While you can\u2019t prevent a semi-truck driver from making dangerous decisions behind the wheel, you can make safe decisions for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid driving in a semi\u2019s blind spots. If you can\u2019t see their mirrors, they probably can\u2019t see you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t tailgate a truck or drive too closely. They need more space to stop and turn than the average car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pass big trucks with care. Don\u2019t cross the yellow line, cut them off, or make other reckless choices just because you\u2019re in a hurry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, even the most responsible driver can\u2019t avoid every crash. When the unthinkable happens, you deserve answers and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/avoid-these-4-mistakes-after-a-big-truck-crash\/\"><strong>Avoid These 4 Mistakes After a Big Truck Crash<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Protect Yourself After an 18-Wheeler Crash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insurance company is rarely \u201con your side\u201d after a truck accident. Instead, its goal is to resolve your case as quickly and cheaply as possible. To fight back, you\u2019ll need strong evidence, a comprehensive legal strategy, and a smart lawyer. You can also take some simple steps to protect the value of your claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Wait to Seek Medical Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a catastrophic truck crash, some victims don\u2019t have a choice \u2014 they\u2019re hurt so badly, they must seek medical care. However, others walk away with seemingly minor aches and pains, which turn out to be early signs of a severe injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can\u2019t decide whether or not to go to the emergency room or urgent care, always go. The doctor can identify hidden injuries and treat existing ones, saving you time, money, and pain in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Track of Your Costs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can include the cost of medical treatment, medications, surgeries, x-rays, physical therapy, and even transportation to and from appointments in a truck wreck lawsuit. Make sure you keep track of your expenses; save copies of your bills to help you understand your case\u2019s value. Your lawyer can also help you organize these documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Track of Your Pain and Other Limitations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An accident impacts every area of your life. If you\u2019re struggling to go back to work, take care of your household and family, or enjoy life as you once did, documenting these feelings and limitations is essential. A <a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/ebooks\/recovering-from-a-traumatic-injury-youre-not-alone\/\">survivor\u2019s journal<\/a> that tracks your daily pain levels, ability to work, and other details about your recovery will help your lawyer understand your case\u2019s value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understand Your Future Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk to your medical team about your future medical needs. Whether your home needs renovations to make it more accessible or you\u2019ll require additional surgeries, understanding these needs is the first step to protecting yourself and during an insurance claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Sign Anything Before You Speak With a Lawyer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The insurance companies love working with victims who are desperate for a settlement and will say \u201cyes\u201d to their first offer. However, this first offer is often unfairly low. When you work with an experienced lawyer, they can help you understand your claim\u2019s real value. Unfortunately, once you accept a settlement offer, you typically can\u2019t demand additional compensation later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hurt By an Unsafe Big Truck?
