These are statistical eye-openers for tractor trailer accidents. One out of eight traffic related deaths and 4% of all injuries involve large commercial trucks. In a ten year period, fatal accidents involving large trucks increased by 20%.
The federal government has issued special regulations that set rules for the operation of a large truck on our nation’s highways. Occupants of cars involved in truck/car accidents may not be aware of these specialized regulations.
They may not know they can probably recover for their serious injuries when one of these regulations is violated and an accident results. Some of these regulations include, in part, drug and alcohol testing for truck drivers, Licensing Standards (CDL), inspections, repair and maintenance, hours of service, etc.
