Semi-Truck Accident Statistics

Tractor-trailer collisions are notoriously difficult to resolve. In a semi-truck accident, many aspects must be addressed. Crashes involving semi-trucks are typically caused by a loss of truck control, a tire blowout, a disabling or non-disabling mechanical malfunction, excessive speed, lane drifting, inappropriate truck maneuver, and driver weariness.

Unfortunately, according to a recent study, one out of every three commercial truck drivers suffers from mild to severe sleep apnea, which impairs their concentration and performance.

Every 15 minutes, someone is killed in a semi-truck accident somewhere in the United States. According to U.S. Department of Transportation data, nearly 4,000 tractor-trailer-related deaths occurred in the United States in 2015.
