-

How Common Are Truck Accidents?
Did you know? According to the FMCSA, although commercial trucks make up less than 5% of all registered vehicles in the US, more than 13% of fatal crashes in 2020 involved a commercial vehicle. More than 7 of 10 individuals killed in truck accidents were the occupants of “other vehicles,” that is, not in the big rig.
But it’s not just the passengers or drivers of other vehicles that are in danger. In fact, according to the CDC, crashes are the leading cause of death on the job among truckers in the United States.
