Truck Accidents

Semi-truck and 18-wheeler accidents often cause devastating injuries to drivers of other vehicles involved in the wreck. The damages can be catastrophic when the effects of an accident are exponentially increased by the size, weight, and thus, force of an 80,000-pound truck and trailer colliding with a car or truck.

Large trucks are far less stable than lighter vehicles that travel closer to the road surface. Big rigs can jackknife, roll over or lose control. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), large trucks, those weighing more than 10,000 pounds, are involved in one out of nine traffic fatalities each year in the United States. That number has decreased over the last decade along with the more than 3,000 fatal crashes and more than 50,000 injury crashes involving large trucks in 2010.
