Transportation Industry – Traffic Accident Risk for Tow Truck Drivers
Accidents and vehicle breakdowns occur every day, which means that tow truck drivers have a busy schedule. Between driving to the scene of the accident or breakdown and towing the damaged vehicle to a safer location, tow truck drivers spend a lot of time on the roads. But while they play a huge role in keeping the roads safe and clean, the amount of time they spend behind the wheel puts tow truck drivers at an increased risk of traffic accidents.
There are many factors that put tow truck drivers at risk of accidents, including:
- Dangerous weather
- Dangerous road conditions
- Fatigue
- The behavior of others on the roads, such as drunk or texting drivers
When a tow truck driver is in an accident due to one of these factors, it can lead to a variety of injuries. These range from broken bones to serious, life-changing injuries like a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.
