Big Rig Accident Statistics

Big rigs, or tractor-trailers and semi-trucks, are what we commonly refer to as on the road. These names are used interchangeably for huge cargo-carrying trucks.

As far as car accidents go, tractor-trailer collisions are the deadliest. This is mainly due to the enormous size of big-rig trucks. Stopping a big rig with a lot of weight on it takes longer.

In the United States, one person is killed by a semi-truck accident every 15 minutes. A total of 5,000 truckers out of a total of 500,000 traffic accidents in the United States are killed yearly.

Every year in California, truck accidents result in the deaths of 113 people and the injury of nearly 3,000 others. 200 to 300 people are killed or injured every year in trucking-related accidents in California.

Between 2009 and 2015, a record number of people were killed in semi-truck accidents. More than a tenth of all traffic fatalities in 2015 involved a tractor-trailer.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration mandates that drivers keep a 4-second distance from heavy trucks at speeds below 40mph. Speeds greater than 40 mph necessitate the addition of an extra second.
