Big Rig Accident Statistics

About 13 million trucks are on the roads in the United States. These trucks are essential to the economy but can also be very dangerous. Nearly 4,000 people died in truck accidents in 2016, and many of these accidents involved motorcycles.

There are a few reasons for this, but the most common one is that truck drivers can’t see motorcyclists as well as they can see cars. They are also more likely to be thrown off their bikes in an accident, which can often lead to fatal injuries.

Truck drivers need to be extra careful when sharing the road with motorcycles, and motorcyclists need to know how dangerous trucks can be. By taking these steps, we can help reduce the number of accidents on our roads involving motorcycles.

Kern County Truck Accident Lawyers

There are many things that can make a truck or motorcycle accident worse. First of all, trucks are much bigger and heavier than motorcycles, so when they crash, they can do more damage.
Second, motorcycles aren’t as safe as trucks, so riders are more likely to get hurt or die in an accident. Lastly, trucks usually have big blind spots that make it hard for drivers to see motorcycles.

Big rig accidents cause terrible injuries because of how big and heavy they are. Brain damage, bleeding inside the body, and damage to the spinal cord are severe injuries. These wounds need immediate medical care and, in some cases, expensive procedures.

When big rigs get into accidents, they can cause a lot of worry and stress. If you get hurt in a big truck accident, you should talk to an experienced accident lawyer as soon as possible to find out how you might get paid.
