Trucks cause a significant number of accidents every year. Statistics show that 12% of traffic-related deaths involve an 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer. Trucks also cause 4% of all traffic-related injuries. Because of their size, truck accidents usually cause more damage than regular passenger vehicle accidents. Driving a truck is risky as well. Trucks have larger blind spots, which increases the chances of serious collisions. Truck drivers also face intense pressure to meet deadlines. Many drive longer than legally permitted, leading to fatigue, drowsy driving, or falling asleep at the wheel.
No matter the cause, truck accident damage is rarely minor.
