The following may increase the chances of a truck rollover accident:
- Speeding - Speeding is one of the major causes of rollover accidents, accounting for about three quarters of all truck rollover accidents across the nation.
- Driver Behavior – Fatigue, improper turning, unsafe lane changes, improper cell phone use, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, running off the road and failure to yield the right of way all contribute to rollover accidents.
- Improper loading - Commercial trucks, 18 wheelers and other types of semi-trucks often weigh in excess of 10,000 pounds. They may even weigh up to 80,000 pounds! When they are loaded improperly it can shift the truck’s weight and center of gravity and put it at a higher risk for a rollover.
- Poorly maintained highways and roads - When a truck is driving and there is a lack of warning signs, potholes, uneven road or any other poorly maintained road or highway it can increase the chances of a rollover accident.
- Tire failure - When tires fail it can cause a driver to lose control and the vehicle to roll over.
