Trucking Accidents

A trucking accident occurs when large trucks (10,000+ lbs.) collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Like other vehicle accidents, trucking accidents often result in significant bodily injury and property damage. Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur every year in the United States. Of these, approximately 5,000 trucking accidents result in fatalities. In fact, one out of every eight 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.
Due to the large size of trucks, a trucking accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles unnecessarily when truck operators fail to consider proper trucking accident prevention.
