SEMI TRUCK ACCIDENTS

Semi-truck accident statistics reveal that 1 out of 8  fatal accidents were caused by a collision with a semi-truck.

Accidents involving semi-trucks are most often associated with driver fatigue. Even though trucking companies are required to follow strict state and federal regulations (e.g., driver's must maintain a driver's log), driver's sometime push these limits to meet deadlines.

Drowsy driving is a growing epidemic among the trucking community, and it's yet another reason for drivers to be on constant alert while in the presence of semi-trucks. Drowsiness related accidents are 4.5 times more likely to involve a large truck than a passenger car.

Other common semi-truck accidents may include excessive speed, driving in unsafe weather conditions, mechanical failure, driving with loads improperly secured, spilled loads, aggressive driving to meet deadlines, the driver leaves inadequate space between themselves and your vehicle, driver's difficulty to locate you in their blind-spot.

The good news is that trucking companies often carry insurance policies with high limits which increase chances of recovery.
