Speed remains one of the main causes of serious injury collisions in the United States. According to the National Safety Council, “Speeding was a factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2023, killing 11,775, or an average of over 32 people on a typical day. The total number of fatal motor-vehicle crashes attributable to speeding was 10,541.” It is essential that drivers slow down in a number of different settings.

• Drivers should slow down during periods of inclement weather.
• Drivers should slow down as they are rounding curves.
• Drivers should slow down during periods of heavy traffic.

Dump truck drivers are required to obtain a commercial license. They are held to a high standard in terms of safety. All of these drivers must exercise an abundance of caution in order to avoid colliding with any vehicle. They should be intimately familiar with how their vehicle works. One of the unique dangers of larger trucks is that they are much more difficult to navigate around turns. When a dump truck driver fails to maintain control of their vehicle, this may be construed as negligence. It is essential that certain steps are taken after any dump truck collision.

• Eyewitnesses should be interviewed.
• Medical records related to the accident should be preserved.
