Trucking Accidents
Whether you call them 18 wheelers, semi-trucks, or tractor-trailers, large commercial vehicles are present in huge numbers on our roads and interstates. Because of their size, they present increased dangers to other drivers if they are involved in a car-truck collision. Semi-trucks are responsible for 12% of traffic accidents, although they represent less than 5% of the vehicles on our roadways. Large trucks are more likely to cause death and serious injury than any other vehicle collision.
