Truck Motor Vehicle Negligence

Every year, thousands of large trucks (tractor-trailers or "semis") are involved in traffic accidents in the United States. Unfortunately, some of these accidents result in fatalities. A collision with a large truck causes one out of every eight traffic fatalities. Not surprisingly, most of the deaths and injuries involve the passengers of the vehicles struck by tractor-trailers.

Protecting the Rights of People Injured in Big Truck collisions

The Federal government requires tractor-trailer and other large truck operators to acquire a commercial driver's license and undergo limited drug and alcohol testing. However, many truck safety advocates question the effectiveness of the licensing and testing program.

A more pressing matter, according to safety experts, is truck driver fatigue. Current rules allow drivers to operate tractor-trailers for up to 16 hours per day. With the pressure to deliver their loads, drivers often continue when prudence suggests otherwise. In a recent survey, 20% of long-haul truck drivers admitted to falling asleep at the wheel within the past month.
