Can I Claim For Lorry/HGV Accidents?
The most common causes of road accidents involving a Lorry or HGV are:
- Tailgating - Lorries and HGVs can be particularly dangerous for other motorists who follow them too closely. The chances are they would not have enough time to react to avoid a collision if you braked suddenly.
- Failure to look properly – Lorries and HGV tend to have a larger blind spot.
- Condition of vehicles - Worn or damaged tyres can cause serious accidents.
- High winds - Large vehicles such as lorries or HGVs with relatively flat sides are more likely to be blown over in strong winds.
- Bridge strikes – The height of many lorries and HGVs increases their risk of hitting the underside of a bridge, or an overhanging tree.
- Badly loaded vehicles - Overloaded vehicles with poorly-secured or poorly-stacked loads are more at risk of turning over or shedding their loads.
