  • Driver Fatigue – Truckers driving too long without rest

  • Distracted Driving – Phone use or on-board system misuse

  • Speeding or Brake Failures – Especially on I-75, US-301, and SR-54

  • Improper Cargo Loading – Leading to tip-overs or highway debris

  • Inadequate Maintenance – Worn tires, faulty brakes, or outdated parts

  • Negligent Hiring or Training – Inexperienced or unlicensed drivers

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Crushed limbs or amputation

  • Broken bones and internal bleeding

  • Severe burns or scarring

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
