The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), is charged with collecting and analyzing data involving truck accidents in all 50 states. According to a recent report, 4,951 trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds were involved in fatal crashes in 2018, which is an increase over the previous year. Singles (truck tractors pulling a single semi-trailer) accounted for 59 percent of the large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2017.

In 2018 there were an estimated 151,000 people injured in crashes involving large trucks—an increase of 2 percent from an estimated 148,000 in 2017. Seventy-one percent of people killed in large truck crashes in 2018 were occupants of other vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 98 percent of all semi-truck accidents result in one or more fatalities, and tractor-trailer accidents are responsible for more than $20 billion in damages each year.

When it comes to commercial trucks as a larger classification, the average truck accident results in about $59,200 in damage, and 90 percent of these accidents are caused or made worse by human error.

The types of accidents that can occur with trucks are quite varied from the accidents that automobiles can cause. Following are some of the common types of truck accidents:

  • Jackknife – When a tractor-trailer stops suddenly, the trailer can swings out to the side, impacting with other vehicles.
  • Load drop – Cargo on trucks that is inadequately secured may come loose and spill onto the roadway or other vehicles.
  • Rollover – Truck drivers sometimes lose control of their vehicles, and they tip onto one side or roll from one side to another.
  • Blind spots – Trucks have large blind spots that block a driver’s view of the road and other vehicles.

Filing a claim, collecting evidence of a crash, proving fault, and gaining fair compensation are the major aspects of every truck crash case. However, each of these factors can be exceedingly challenging for someone without any legal experience. By finding a skilled and experienced lawyer, you can have someone who will craft your case while you focus on recovering from injuries.

At the Law Office of Domingo Garcia, P.C., our team of truck accident attorneys have helped numerous victims recover from their severe losses by holding truckers and trucking companies responsible for the accidents they cause. To find out more about your potential case and how we may be able to help you, call 214-941-8300 for a no-cost consultation.

We cannot begin processing your claim until after we have received all of the doctor’s reports stating exactly what your medical condition is and your long-term prognosis. In other words, until you have reached “maximum medical improvements.” If we try to settle your case before your medical condition is stabilized, you may lose money that you might be entitled to for a condition that did not show up until after your case was settled.

It is important to know that your case will not be settled until the damages have been determined and all investigations to determine who is liable have been completed. It generally takes several months to gather the necessary information. If a trial becomes necessary, it can take several years to complete a case. One of the most difficult requests we make of you is to have patience. We will work as hard and fast as possible to settle your case quickly.
