Here is the conclusion to our three-part blog Truck Driver Negligence: 6 Ways Trucker Negligence Can Cause Accidents. Additional common forms of trucker negligence that often contribute to trucking collisions include:

The Centennial truck accident attorneys at Bahr and Kreidle are skilled at determining when truck driver negligence has caused accidents and injuries.

5. Truckers’ Failure to Comply with Federal Trucking Regulations

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has enacted a number of federal trucking regulations that are meant to reduce the risk of truck accidents. Among the various issues that these regulations cover include (but are not exclusively limited to):

The necessary training truckers must have
The essential permits and licenses, as well as insurance, that truckers must maintain
The weight limits of trucks
The proper ways to load and unload trucks
The essential safety equipment that trucks must have

When truck drivers violate such federal trucking regulations in any way and such violations play a role in causing truck accidents, this form of negligence can be the basis of a lawsuit against the negligent trucker.

6. Truckers’ Failure to Obey Common Traffic Laws

In some truck accidents, a truck driver’s intentional decision to disobey traffic laws results in accidents. Specifically, this form of truck driver negligence can involve truckers:

Failing to stop at red lights or stop signs
Failing to yield the right-of-way to other drivers
Speeding
Going the wrong way on one-way streets
Failing to use indicators before changing lanes or turning.

If truckers don’t comply with the basic traffic laws that all drivers must abide by and they end up causing accidents, victims can sue these drivers for their negligence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst. If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again! The amount of gratitude I feel for these people simply can't be put into just one small review. Hopefully others that may be facing unfortunate hardships and need the legal help see this and make the call. Just do it!

Michael and Ben possess extensive knowledge of the insurance sector and will not hesitate to inform you if they believe the case lacks merit. Their guidance provided to our shared client during the legal consultation was exceptional. I highly recommend their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer  only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being  Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story. These 2 people are really there for you! I would refer them and consider them even only after a couple of visits at first they make you feel so comfortable to talk to. They have certainly have made us a friend of there's for life and don't need to ever! look for attorney else where if I ever need legal advice.
