The Causes Surrounding Truck Accidents
Unfortunately, truck accidents are very common. In companies that deal primarily with transportation, these incidents are practically everyday occurrences. Although it is possible that the negligence of other drivers can contribute to incidents, it is likely that the negligence of the truck drivers themselves could contribute to incidents. Some examples of the causes behind truck accidents are listed below:
- Driving recklessly – that is, tailgating, speeding, ignoring traffic signals, weaving in and out of traffic, failing to yield, etc.
- Driving under the influence – including under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or prescription medication
- Driving while drowsy, sleepy, or fatigued
- Driving while distracted
- Driving trucks with known mechanical issues
These are just some of the causes of truck accidents. Regardless of the cause of the accident, affected parties are likely to suffer significant injuries.
Examples of Truck Accident Injuries
In general, the injuries associated with truck accidents are typically much more severe than any other types of vehicular accidents because of the size and weight of commercial trucks – they simply result in more devastating accidents. Although every claim is different, some of the injuries that affected parties could potentially suffer include the following:
- Traumatic brain injuries (and head injuries, in general)
- Neck and back injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Nerve, ligament, and muscle injuries
- Fractures
- Road rash
- Burns (ranging in degree)
- Punctured organs
- Scrapes and bruises
- Strains and sprains
- Lacerations
These are just some of the injuries that affected parties could suffer. If you or a member of your family suffered any of the injuries listed above in an XPO Logistics truck accident, you should seek legal assistance with the experts at our law firm immediately – you might have grounds to sue.

Your Right to Sue
Do I have the right to sue after being harmed in an accident with a XPO Logistics truck? Based on the details surrounding the incident, you could be eligible to sue. In fact, you could sue the company for the harm resulting from the incident. Your right to sue after any sort of vehicular accident is based on the concept of negligence – that is, all drivers on the road owe other drivers a duty of care. More specifically, drivers must exercise care while driving to ensure that their actions do not contribute to any incidents that could result in harm to other drivers on the road. When drivers do not exercise care (and actually breach their duty of care by driving recklessly, driving distracted, etc.), they can directly lead to incidents that result in harm – and they could be liable for all resulting harm. In cases involving company vehicles, liability for the incident can actually be transferred to the company based on vicarious liability. This means that the company can be sued.

Filing Your Injury Claim Quickly
As previously mentioned, you could be eligible to pursue an injury claim for the harm that you or a family suffered in an incident with an XPO Logistics truck. However, you must file your claim within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations – which determines the total length of time that claimants have to file a claim. If claimants fail to file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they could lose their right to sue altogether. How long do you have to file your claim? What deadline applies to your injury claim? In California, personal injury claims, including truck accident claims involving company vehicles, are typically subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants will only have two years to pursue their claims. If you are interested in learning more about the total length of time that you have to file your accident claim against XPO Logistics, do not hesitate to seek guidance from the lawyers at our firm immediately.
