Westlake Village truck collision injury victims can have serious injuries, sometimes resulting in wrongful death claims, which makes it important for truck drivers to be effectively trained in handling their trucks on the road. Truck drivers should also perform routine inspections of their trucks before driving them to watch out for any mechanical malfunctions or improper placement of cargo. Factors contributing to truck collisions include:

  • Truck hitting another vehicle by switching lanes, because the other vehicle was in the truck driver's blind spot
  • When car switches lanes and gets to the right side of a truck that is about to turn right
  • Heavy winds combined with unsafe speeding by truck
Ways to Avoid Getting Into an Accident: Tip #13-Listen for any Noises in Your Vehicle to Detect a Mechanical Malfunction Before it Occurs on the Road

Truck drivers should be trained in checking their trucks before taking off on their routes. Company trucks are used frequently and often accumulate a large amount of mileage per trip, which can lead to problems sooner than most other vehicles. Starting the vehicle and giving a few minutes to listen for noises can be sufficient to prevent future malfunctions that, if occur on the road, will lead to many casualties. If a truck driver could do a full check of the truck by looking at the oil level and water level as well then that could make the chances of a problem happening on the road very rare. Therefore, it is essential for truck drivers to be aware of any suspicious noises coming from the truck when they start the engine.

Treatment can consist of surgery, if the bone does not heal properly, or some form of reduction and immobilization that requires manipulating the fracture through anesthetics and repositioning the wrist followed by placing a cast.
