Truck Accident Violations
In the last few years, the number of big tractor-trailers trucks, semi-trucks, and big trucking rigs on the roads and highways has drastically increased. Unfortunately, the more large trucks take to the our highways, the rate of trucking accidents and fatalities related to these 18 wheel, tractor-trailers continues to soar.
Many accidents between two cars do not result in serious injury, however, accidents involving a large truck commonly do. This grave opportunity for a serious injury stems from the law of physics behind any accident that involves a tractor-trailer and car. Huge, often 80,000 pound tractor trailer holds the potential to cause serious damage to the much smaller 3,000 to 5,000 pound automobile.
Tractor Trailer / 18 Wheeler accidents account for more than 4,800 fatalities across the U.S. each year.
In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, one out of nine traffic deaths are the result of accidents involving a large commercial truck!
Additionally, another 100,000 individuals are injured in tractor-trailer accidents annually.
