Tractor Trailer

Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur every year in the United States. Of these, approximately 5,000 trucking accidents result in fatalities. In fact, 1 out of every 8 traffic fatalities involves a trucking accident. Most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of vehicles; truck drivers usually escape trucking accidents with little or no personal injury.

The size and weight of trucks, large blind spots and driver fatigue can cause trucking accidents, or significantly increase the damage. Trucking accidents are especially likely when the truck driver has exceeded federal regulations for standard working hours.

Trucking accidents can be prevented if passenger vehicle drivers take special care when driving near tractor-trailers. If a trucking accident does occur, record as much information as possible, including names and contact information of witnesses.
