Underride Accidents

Did You Suffer A Serious Injury?

Truck accidents claim thousands of lives every year and injure countless more. These types of crashes are broken down into a number of different classifications depending on what occurred during the incident, and underride accidents are among the deadliest. The National Automotive Sampling System and the Fatality Analysis Report System reports that about 20 percent of all deaths caused by truck accidents occurred in these types of crashes.

What Causes These Types Of Accidents?

Trucks are required to equip their vehicles with equipment designed to prevent these types of crashes, but they aren’t always enough to prevent underride accidents. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducted a study that found the connection between the safety equipment and the vehicle isn’t actually strong enough to work as intended at low speeds, let alone in high-speed crashes. Some factors that can cause an underride accident include:

• Mechanical failure
• Inexperienced drivers
• Intoxicated drivers
• Dangerous road conditions caused by bad weather
• Defective equipment
• Drowsy drivers
• Road hazards like debris, potholes, etc.
