When cars and trucks get into accidents, who is at fault is dependent on specific factors of each case. While statistics show that cars are more likely to be at fault, liability is judged case by case. This is where a truck accident attorney can help you navigate your case. Cars are not always at fault, so it is advised to have your accident investigated by a legal team who can look at the facts of your particular case. 

According to the statistics there are four major reasons that passenger car drivers are likely to be found at fault in a truck accident:

• Recognition: distracted driving, failure to assess road conditions, failure to check blind spots.

• Decision: speeding, tailgating, making improper turns or lane changes

• Non-performance: physical impairment, driving under the influence

• Performance: overcompensation, or loss of control of the vehicle
