Negligent Garbage Truck Drivers & Employers

Most garbage trucks are owned by private enterprises. These companies sign contracts with cities to provide collection services.

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
Driver Fatigue
