Common Causes of Commercial Auto Accidents

​An automotive accident with another passenger vehicle is often a traumatic and confusing experience. A car accident involving a commercial vehicle can be even more difficult due to parties involved apart from the driver. Learning facts about business vehicle accidents may help you recognize how to shield your rights on the road.
Several Factors You Should Consider
There are many varieties of business vehicles around the world, each designed to perform a selected task. Driving defensively around other cars on the highway is a necessary plan. Therefore, you should know the several factors that may contribute to commercial auto accidents.

Human Error
Perhaps the most common reason for a business vehicle to collide with another car or person is human error. Maybe the driver spent an excessive amount of time on the road that day, and exhaustion led to negligent driving.
Here are some of the signs of Negligent Driving:
  • Over Speeding
  • Road rage
  • Frequent lane changes
  • Tailgating
  • Driver inattention or distraction because of texting, using GPS, or talking
  • Careless driving
  • Over fatigue
  • Drinking Alcoholic Drinks and illegal drugs
  • Failure to notice blind spots before turning or changing lanes
  • Failure to use signal lights
  • Not obeying road rules

Inexperienced or Improperly Trained Driver
Drivers need to have commercial driver's licenses to control many types of business vehicles. Business vehicles could also be taller or more prolonged than personal vehicles. They'll need a lot of areas to stop or to create turns. If a driver didn't receive adequate coaching to handle commercial vehicles, that ignorance could cause collisions.

Equipment Malfunction
Owners of some forms of business vehicles are subject to rules regarding how they need to maintain their cars. Those rules usually need maintenance to happen on an everyday schedule. Some common forms of equipment malfunction which causes collisions are the following:
  • Improperly maintained safety equipment
  • Faulty brakes
  • Tire blowouts

Conclusion
Vehicle accidents can be scary and sometimes deadly. That is why businesses should consider commercial auto insurance to facilitate the vehicle's safekeeping. Thus, it also helps with any loss or damages from accidents that may occur in the future.
