Trucking accidents seriously injure and kill thousands of people across the nation every year. Semi-truck accidents account for almost 13% of all traffic deaths in the United States.

The driver of a semi-truck is significantly less likely to be injured in a collision than the drivers and passengers of other vehicles involved. This is primarily due to the sheer size of semi-trucks vs. a private passenger vehicle.

By law, trucking companies and semi-truck drivers are required to perform daily, weekly, and monthly inspections of their vehicles before they begin a road trip. In addition, semi-truck drivers are required to undergo extensive training and testing. It has been proven, accident after accident, that those safety precautions are not performed resulting in people like you or your loved ones to be seriously or fatility at the hands of a trucking conpany which refuses to follow the rules of the road.
