There are more than 13 million trucks on American roadways on any given day, and nearly 3 million of these vehicles are categorized as large trucks or semi-trailers. Someone is killed or injured in a semi-truck crash every 16 seconds. More than 5,000 people lose their lives each year in 18-wheeler crashes nationwide. Statistics show that the majority of these accidents are caused by driver error. A shocking 25 percent of truck drivers reportedly fall asleep while operating a rig. This means that this 70,000-pound vehicle carrying potentially hazardous cargo can cause some real damage. Immediately after your accident, the trucking company will get to work on their case. It will send investigators to the scene to collect evidence. You need to hire a lawyer so you can have someone working just as hard on your case.
