Fatal Crashes: 5 Driving Behaviours
Fatal Crashes: 5 driving behaviour factors
- Driver inattention
- Failing to obey signs and signals
- Driving too fast for conditions or driving above speed limit
- Failing to stay in your lane
- Maneuvering a car too close to a truck
TIPS:
Do not change lanes last minute, never cut in front of a truck.
Slow down and let the truck have the right of way.
The size of a large truck puts car occupants at risk of being killed in a crash.
“More than 320 people have died due to truck collisions in Ontario in the last five years, and the OPP say few of them were truck drivers. Between 2011 and 2015, there were 27,000 collisions involving transport trucks on roads patrolled by the OPP. 260 of those crashes resulted in fatalities, with a total of 321 people losing their lives. Only 40 of those deaths were the drivers of the large trucks; the remainder being drivers or passengers of the other vehicles involved.”

Our firm is committed to a single goal: helping clients achieve their full post-injury potential. We do it by litigating for as long as it takes to secure the maximum possible settlement needed to fund your ongoing medical and lifestyle needs.
That process can take months or even years because most insurers won’t settle a claim without a fight. In fact, they rate lawyers and know which firms will work to secure a reasonable settlement or take the case to trial—as well as those who will simply settle for a lesser amount. We have the financial capacity to go the distance on your behalf.
