Fatal Big Rig Accidents

Trucks can be deadly on the road. Commercial trucks such as tractor-trailers, big rigs, or eighteen-wheelers weigh up to 20 times as much as a passenger car. This guarantees that they will crush smaller vehicles when involved in an accident.

As well, some truckers and trucking companies, to maximize profits and make deadlines, disregard safety regulations. And victims of truck accidents are likely to be killed or sustain brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other very serious injuries.

Commercial truck drivers have special training and safety regulations regarding when and how they drive. Unfortunately, truckers and trucking companies often ignore those laws to meet delivery deadlines. Sometimes, that leads to truckers driving on very little sleep. In other cases, trucking companies do not maintain brakes, tires, lights and other parts of the vehicle, putting their drivers and everyone around them at risk of a serious truck accident. Large trucks are involved in 12 percent of traffic fatalities.
