The size and weight of trucking vehicles alone are enough to make for severe results should a collision of this nature occur. And, unfortunately, collisions involving trucks are all too prevalent in today's on-the-go society. Of particular interest in these types of accidents is the fact that trucking regulations and laws exist to prevent many of the accidents that continue to plague drivers on the road. It has been widely acknowledged that truck collisions are some of the most severe accidents out there. As such, federal and state laws have been enacted to regulate the standard operating procedures of truck drivers, truck employers, and truck maintenance crews in order to prevent further accidents of this sort from occurring. However, no such luck has been achieved.
If anything, the trucking industry continues to present a hazardous problem for other car drivers on the road, as more than 10% of all traffic-related fatalities can be tied back to accidents which involved an 18-wheeler or tractor trailer truck. Furthermore, 77% of truck accident injuries and 66% of truck accident fatalities are among drivers of smaller, non-commercial vehicles. The statistics speak for themselves; trucking accidents remain a prevalent problem among the nation's highways and roadsides.
