Fatal Truck Accidents
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, truck-related deaths are at an all-time low of 1.5 deaths per every 100,000 miles driven. However, with an increasing number of teenager drivers climbing behind the wheel, and the dramatic increase in driver distractions, such cellular phones and even in-car televisions, today's motorist can never be too cautious.
As the size and speed of trucks increase, so does the severity of impact between vehicles. Big-Rig vehicles now dominate American roadways and, while these vehicle may provide additional safeguards to their operators, the size and weight of these vehicles can cause devastating damage upon impact with a compact or economy-sized vehicle.
