What are the most common factors in collisions between commercial trucks and automobiles?

Jack J. Fine: I may be a little biased in answering this question, because I frequently represent the victims of accidents, and they’re usually in the automobile. The most common factor is the truck driver simply not paying attention. Other factors can be violation of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the truck driver’s being on the road too long. They’re fatigued and as a result, they’re half falling asleep, thereby causing an accident.
