Teenagers are four times as likely to lose their lives in an accident than adults, and truck accidents are considered especially deadly when an inexperienced driver is involved. Teenagers are far more prone to technical errors, inattention, and DUI than older drivers, and elements such as these can be devastating when a heavier vehicle such as a truck enters the picture. It is for this reason that a number of plaintiffs have emerged to fight back against poor truck driving here in Illinois.
Know Your Rights
The presumption of innocence is not what it could be when teenaged drivers are involved, and the reason is simple: many people assume a teenager does not have the skills to drive defensively. If you look at recent traffic statistics, however, you will notice that truck drivers have an equally spotty safety record. In any accident involving teenagers and trucks, therefore, it is important to perform due diligence and understand the many factors at play before determining any liability.
