Portsmouth Injury Lawyer Talks About Dangers of Garbage and Dump Trucks in New Video

Garbage trucks and dump trucks are seen on a daily basis in cities such as Portsmouth and Virginia Beach, VA.

Some of the most horrendous crashes I have seen are caused by these heavy vehicles. Indeed a recent study found garbage trucks cause more injuries and deaths than any other kind of vehicle. I talk about these accidents in a new video.

Garbage trucks and dump trucks stop and start on residential streets. Even a crash at low speeds can cause serious injuries and even death.

These trucks can cause accidents due to a number of factors including:

• Unsafe backing up which can hurt pedestrians or cyclists. Children are particularly vulnerable.
• A driver’s failure to check his blind spot. These vehicles have plenty
• Parking illegally in places that can endanger pedestrians and other road users
• Fatigue on the behalf of drivers and distracted driving
