If you have been involved in a car crash with a large commercial truck, or have been injured by the negligence of a truck driver, you are not alone. There are roughly 13 million trucks on the roads today and 3 million of those are categorized as large trucks or tractor trailers. Every 16 seconds, there is at least one fatality or injury caused by a large truck and almost 5,000 people are killed in semi truck accidents each year. Many of these accidents are caused by driver and operator error with an astonishing 25% of truck drivers reportedly asleep at the wheel of their 70,0000-pound truck filled with cargo. Often, these trucks have mechanical and maintenance issues leading to disastrous life-changing consequences.
