Big Rig Accident Statistics
Accidents involving a tractor-trailer are notoriously difficult to resolve. Many factors must be considered in a semi-truck accident.
Semi-truck accidents are usually caused by a loss of truck control, a tire blowout, a disabling or non-disabling technical defect, high speed, lane drifting, and driver fatigue.
Unfortunately, according to a new study, one out of every three commercial truck drivers suffers from mild to severe sleep apnea, which hampers their focus and performance.
Someone gets killed in a semi-truck accident somewhere in the United States every 15 minutes. In 2015, nearly 4,000 tractor-trailer-related deaths occurred in the United States, according to the United States Department of Transportation.
Semi-truck accident fatalities increased by a startling 22% between 2009 and 2015. In 2015, a tractor-trailer involved approximately 11% of all fatal traffic accidents.
