Tractor-Trailer Accidents

Every 16 minutes, a person is killed or injured in a truck accident.  Big rig truck accidents continue to increase.  Even with these frightening scenarios and statistics, powerful trucking industry lobbyists continue to call for the weakening of truck safety rules and regulations to reap a higher profit.

Trucking revenues totaled $610 billion last year and revenues are forecasted to nearly double by 2015. While commercial trucking growth is good news for the trucking companies and the economy, it is bad news for the automobiles that share the road with these potentially lethal giants. In tractor-trailer accidents, 98% of fatalities occur to the individuals in the passenger vehicles.

From 1992 to 2002, the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes increased by up to 10%.  Accidents involving semi-truck, 18-wheeler, and large trucks present many unique issues including driver fatigue, intoxication, driver error, equipment failure, unstable loads, and failure to maintain current inspection standards.

When truck collisions do occur, trucking companies involved in the accident often send representatives to the accident scene. These agents work to handle everything at the scene of the accident so that they can limit or mitigate their company’s liability.

Tractor-trailer accidents can be caused by professional or commercial drivers. Studies show that in more than 80 percent of tractor-trailer traffic accidents, the non-commercial driver is not at fault, and most of the deaths or injuries in such accidents happen to the non-commercial driver. These statistics highlight the dangers and issues of auto accidents involving large trucks.
