Drivers of Pennsylvania tractor trailers often find themselves under stress to meet or beat deadlines.

To help protect motorists in Monroe County and throughout the US, Pennsylvania and federal lawmakers have devised regulations designed to protect injured motorists from negligent and careless truck companies and drivers. These regulations limit the amount of hours that a truck driver may travel each day, explain proper loading requirements, and limit traveling speeds. If a PA truck driver or trucking company disregards these important regulations, they are putting innocent Monroe County drivers at risk for serious injuries.

When the collision is the fault of the truck driver, several factors may have contributed, including:

• Driving for too long without rest
• Fatigue
• Aggressive driving
• Failure to inspect lights, brakes, and tires
• Tailgating
• Cell phone use
• Failure to install blind spot mirrors
• Speeding and ignoring reduced truck speeds
• Overloaded trucks
• Oversized trucks

Trucking accidents in Monroe County are not always the fault of the driver. Sometimes the trucking company itself can be to blame. There have been numerous cases where companies failed to adequately train their drivers or failed to perform needed repairs or maintenance on the truck.

When truck collisions do occur, trucking companies involved in the accident often send representatives to the scene to confront accident victims immediately following the event, when they are most vulnerable. These agents work to handle everything at the scene so that they can mitigate their company's liability.
