What are the causes of rollover truck accidents?

Causes of rollover truck accidents include:

Speeding: This is one of the top causes of rollover truck accidents. These happen when truck drivers operate under tight deadlines and exceed speed limits.
Turning too quickly: Rollover truck accidents happen when truck drivers make an abrupt change in steering to avoid other vehicles or obstacles in the road. The faster trucks turn, the higher the risks they face.
Improperly loaded cargo's: When trucks are improperly loaded with cargo's, they can tip over while making turns and cause serious injuries.
Driver errors: Driving while ill or tired or impaired, as well as distracted driving, such as driving while using mobile phones or reaching for drinks or the radio controls, are other causes of rollover truck accidents.
Manufacturing defects: Defectively manufactured parts, such as tire blowouts, brake failures or problems with the steering or coupling systems can cause accidents.

  1. My boyfriend and I were on an evening walk a few days ago when a loaded truck and hit my boyfriend. He had to be hospitalized for two weeks. Can I file a claim against the truck driver for compensation?
