Why Do Cement Trucks Crash?

Cement truck accidents can be complex and difficult to try and require the help of an experienced attorney who understands the complexity of a trucking case.

Cement trucks are bulky and unsteady, and have a high center of gravity, making them prone to roll over due to uneven weight distribution. Accidents can happen at speeds as low as 5 mph, or while the driver is making a turn. Making matters worse, cement truck drivers are often rushing to their destinations to make sure the cement, which must be wet in order to do its job, does not dry out inside the truck.

Cement truck drivers also can have more blind spots and limited line-of-vision. They can fail to see obstacles, or if they see them too late, the size and weight of the truck makes it difficult to quickly switch lanes.

Other cement truck hazards include:

• Driver is inexperienced, fatigued, distracted, intoxicated, or otherwise impaired
• Aggressive driving, including speeding and driver making sudden or sharp turns
• Defective design, wear and tear, or failure to inspect brakes, lights, tires or other parts of the cement truck

What Should I Do If I Am in an Accident with a Cement Truck?

When an accident with a cement truck occurs, you need to be ready to defend your rights by seeking legal help. The trucking company will be ready to defend any case that you may bring against it, with a whole team of representatives, attorneys and experts, who will be at the scene of your accident in no time making a case against you. Immediately after a cement truck accident, you need to do the following:

• Seek medical attention: Even if your injuries seem minor, you need to get checked by your doctor. A car accident or truck accident can give you a rush of adrenaline, which can mask the pain of any injuries for days. Serious injuries can also be difficult to diagnose – you may not immediately realize the effects of brain trauma.
• Make an official report: File an official report with the police. This accident report will have information important to filing a claim. If you were hurt while on the job, be sure to report the accident to your employer right away.
• Get contact information for witnesses and first responders: If you are physically able to, get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all parties involved at the scene, including witnesses. Also record the names and badge numbers of any police officers who report to the scene.
• Take photos: Use your cell phone to take photos of the accident, the vehicles involved, the surrounding area, and any physical injuries you can document.
• Report the accident to YOUR insurance company: It’s important to call your insurance company and tell them what happened, but do not give a statement to the other party’s insurance company until after you have consulted with a lawyer.
• Call an experienced truck accident attorney: Our staff includes award-winning lawyers, paralegals and other professionals who are specially trained to assist in the investigation, development, negotiation and trials of cement truck accident cases. Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys works as a team, so you will benefit from many lawyers working on and evaluating your case.

What Should You Do in the Days Following a Cement Truck Accident?

Once you have taken care of these initial matters, you should do the following:

• Keep the police report. Make sure to give a copy to your attorney as well.
• Keep expense records. These expenses include lost wages, time off from work, medical expenses, travel expenses, and all other costs related to your injuries and the accident.
• Keep medical records: Make sure you keep any paperwork or forms from the hospital, and a detailed record of your doctor visits and all procedures, medications, and treatments.
• Avoid speaking with the trucking company’s insurance company. During this time, you may start receiving phone calls from the other party’s insurance company. Remember, you do not need to speak with them at all. In fact, it’s best to avoid them and let your cement truck accident lawyer speak with them. If you do speak with them, don’t reveal anything about your injuries or what had happened and make sure the call isn’t being recorded.
