Truck Accident Lawyer Group

Despite the efforts by the United States Government to keep motorist safe from large commercial and industrial trucks, each one weighing as much as 10,000 pounds, thousands of people continue to become victims of truck accidents. According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, about 140,215 fatal and non-fatal truck accidents occur every year, which causes approximately 89,000 injuries and 5,000 fatalities throughout the country. However, with more registered vehicles on the road than ever before, including more than eight million large trucks, the number of victims from these colossal vehicles is bound to grow.

Although trucking accidents do not occur as frequent as other type of transportation collisions, they are in fact more dangerous due to their enormous weight and size. In many cases, those who are not killed by trucking accidents often end up with catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord, brain damage, back, neck, and even loss of limbs. These injuries often require extensive and costly medical treatments that may be needed for the rest of victim's life. This is why the federal government has passed regulations that dictate how the trucking industry needs to operate, in order to protect the well being of the public. Unfortunately, the safety of the public at times is not always the highest priority of the trucking industry. With tight deadlines to meet, sometimes corners are cut and regulations are broken.

Common reasons why a truck accident may occur include:
• Driver fatigue
• Blind spots in the driver's vision
• Reckless driving
• Mechanical failure
• Overloading of the truck
• Insufficient space between the truck and the cars near it
