Trucking AccidentsTrucking Accident Lawyer John David Hart
Given the large size and weight of tractor trailers, even what may seem to be a relatively minor truck accident can result in serious injuries or even death. Each year, more than 5,000 people are killed and more than 110,000 are seriously injured in collisions with large commercial trucks in the U.S. Despite increased federal regulations, the improvements in crash safety equipment, and a decline in alcohol-related accidents, the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes accelerates every year.
There are many reasons for these tragic statistics: driver fatigue, inadequate training, unsafe operation, unstable loads, defective equipment, improper maintenance, and lack of education are just some of the causes. Yet the commercial truck industry continues to grow in the number of miles traveled, number of vehicles on the road, annual revenues and the demand for new drivers.
On these pages we’ve collected some of the latest news and resources on the important issues of trucking accidents and safety.
When a trucking accident occurs, victims and their families should not struggle alone through the difficulties. By working with a firm that is experienced in trucking accident cases, you can gain the comfort and assurance that your rights and interests are being protected.
