Common Causes of Los Angeles Tow Truck Accidents
Tow trucks are specialized vehicles that are designed to pick up and transport other (disabled) motor vehicles. They are large and heavy trucks that must be operated by properly trained and qualified drivers. Negligence, or the failure to use proper care, is behind the most common causes of tow truck accidents in Los Angeles:
- Driver error
- Distracted driving
- Texting while driving
- Speeding
- Truck driver fatigue
- Driver inexperience or incompetence
- Violated traffic laws
- Careless or reckless driving
- Improperly secured towed vehicle
- Exceeding the tow truck’s weight capacity
- Truck mechanical failures
All of a tow truck’s components, including their towing tools, must be properly maintained to prevent issues such as dropped vehicles. Negligence by the owner of the truck or its driver can lead to a devastating collision.
Injuries From Tow Truck Accidents
A collision between a large and heavy tow truck and a standard passenger vehicle can inflict severe harm on people in the smaller car. Common injuries include:
- Bone fractures
- Soft-tissue and muscle injuries
- Dislocations
- Lacerations and scarring
- Internal injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
