Excessive Speeding Leading Cause of Truck Accidents

Speeding is a leading cause of truck accidents in the United States. A speeding truck has so much momentum that the resulting accident is very likely to result in severe injury or death. Truck drivers continue to exceed the speed limit and trucking companies turn a blind eye. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows traffic fatalities are way up, with over 100 more than this year than all of 2020. Experts say, there are more trucks on the road than ever, which has led to a hiring surge to keep up with a post-pandemic demand for goods.

When intrastate, interstate or long-haul trucking companies ignore a truck driver history of speeding, police reports, or log book evidence, they may bear corporate responsibility to pay for the injuries, property damage or wrongful deaths that result when speeding trucks have the run of the road.
