Las posibles causas de los accidentes de camiones

There are many possible causes of accidents involving both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. Both the drivers of the passenger vehicles and the drivers of the commercial vehicles could be at fault under different circumstances. Some of the common causes associated with these accidents include the following:

• Exceso de velocidad
• Ignorar las señales de tráfico (señales de stop o semáforos)
• Entrando y saliendo del tráfico
• Cortar el paso a otros vehículos
• Tailgating
• Conducir bajo los efectos de las drogas o el alcohol
• Conducir distraído (utilizando dispositivos móviles)

Sin embargo, existen varias causas que están estrictamente relacionadas con los conductores de camiones y el tipo de trabajo que realizan. Considere los siguientes puntos:

• Los conductores de camiones no tienen la licencia adecuada (se requiere una licencia especial para conducir vehículos comerciales)
• Los conductores de camiones no tienen la formación adecuada
• Los conductores de camiones están sobrecargados de trabajo (largas horas sin descansos)
• Los conductores de camiones están fatigados (se quedan dormidos o se quedan dormidos al volante)
• Los conductores de camiones se ven obligados a cumplir plazos estrictos

Based on the details of the accident above, the truck driver might likely be at fault. The incident report claims that the big rig crashed into the stalled SUV. It is unclear whether the SUV was stalled in a lane of the freeway or on the shoulder. It is also unknown whether the SUV had its emergency lights on. There are many questions surrounding the accident. ¿El conductor del camión vio el todoterreno averiado? Was the truck driver distracted while driving? Did the truck driver try to stop? Was the truck driver fatigued? Did the truck driver fall asleep at the wheel? Was the truck driver speeding? Regardless of the specific cause of the accident, it is important for all parties involved and affected by the accident to know that someone could be held liable.

Responsabilidad por accidentes de camiones

In general, all drivers on the road owe each other a specific duty of care. All drivers must exercise caution while driving to ensure that they do not cause any accidents that could potentially harm others. When drivers exercise any sort of recklessness (like speeding, tailgating, and weaving in out of traffic), they are breaching their duty of care towards other drivers. When a breach of duty directly leads to an accident that results in injuries or deaths, the party that breached his or her duty of care while behind the wheel could be liable for all the harm suffered. If a truck driver is found to be at-fault for an accident, the truck driver’s employer could also face liability. For more information about possible liability for truck accidents, like the one mentioned above, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our attorneys as soon as possible.

Some of the common categories of compensation available for recovery include the following:

• Dolor y sufrimiento
• Daños materiales
• Gastos funerarios

• Fotografiar todas las lesiones sufridas
• Fotografiar el lugar del accidente
• Recopilar la información de todas las partes involucradas (nombre e información de contacto)
• Recopilar información del seguro
• Recopilar información de testigos
• Reúna todos los documentos o registros asociados con el accidente y el daño sufrido.
• Busque asistencia jurídica inmediatamente

Prescripción

In addition to taking the steps mentioned above, the parties interested in taking legal action after truck accidents have to ensure that they have a thorough understanding of the statute of limitations that applies to their claims. A statute of limitations is a deadline – it determines the specific length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants do not file their claims within the time set by the statute of limitations, they will likely lose their right to sue. In California, injury and wrongful death claims are typically subjected to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that affected parties only have two years to file. However, many exceptions could apply – tolling or pausing the applicable statute of limitations. Considering the fact that those with legitimate claims could lose their right to sue if they fail to file within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, you should seek legal assistance as soon as possible.
