Losing someone close to you is arguably one of the toughest challenges a person or family can experience in life. When a life is lost prematurely, at the hands of another person’s negligence, then dealing with this loss can be all the more difficult. Truck accidents, when ending fatally, generally result in the loss of life to the victim in the smaller passenger vehicle. The physical characteristics of large semi-trailer trucks make it very difficult for victims to survive these tragic accidents.

The addition of a trailer leads these commercial vehicles to be even more dangerous to other motorists on the road. Large vehicles with trailers or hazardous cargo take longer to stop and add to the vehicle’s already large mass.

Compare this to the average weight of a typical passenger vehicle, typically 2,000 – 3,500 pounds and it becomes clear why so many of these accidents end tragically.
