Negligent Garbage Truck Drivers & Employers

Most garbage truck accidents are preventable situations that often result from the negligent operation of a garbage truck. Sanitation truck drivers are subject to enhanced safety regulations. Across Minnesota, most garbage trucks are owned by private enterprises. These companies sign contracts with cities to provide collection services. The company, along with the driver, may be held accountable for an accident.

Causes of Garbage Truck Accidents

Garbage truck accidents arise in a number of situations that are unique to the trash collection and rubbish industry. Most large trucks don't find themselves in the midst of suburban neighborhoods, but garbage trucks will make their way through residential areas on a routine schedule. Common causes of garbage truck accidents include:

• Poor Visibility;

• Lack of Maneuverability;

• Failing to Yield;

• Erratic Driving;

• Falling Debris;

• Mechanical Failure; and

• Driver Fatigue

If you or a loved one has been hurt or killed in a garbage truck accident, compensation is available.
