Big Rig Accident Statistics

Some people refer to large commercial trucks as semi-trucks, although it is just one of many possible names. Other terms are big rig, 18-wheeler, tractor-trailer, and a semi-trailer truck.

Truck accidents can result in some of the most serious injuries of any motor vehicle accident. This occurs because the increased size and weight of the vehicle generate more force in a collision. That force needs to go somewhere, and all too often, it ends up on victims in other vehicles and on the road.

Many truck accidents result in significant injuries that render the victim permanently disabled. Some victims do not survive truck crash injuries.

According to the California Department of Transportation, big rigs are the primary means of freight transportation. More than 78 percent of Californians rely only on huge trucks to convey their goods. Accidents involving large rigs are not uncommon.

According to the NHTSA, the number of big rig-related road deaths increased steadily between 2013 and 2017. With the state’s expanding trucking industry, the number of Californians killed in truck-related incidents will rise.
