Because of their size and weight, collisions involving large trucks tend to cause property destruction and serious injuries, oftentimes even death. Large trucks such as semi-trucks, big rigs, freight trucks, tractor-trailers, box trucks, tanker trucks, refrigerated trucks, dump trucks, fire trucks, cement mixers, garbage trucks, buses, etc. are much slower to maneuver, accelerate, and slow down. They are much less maneuverable compared to cars, small trucks, small vans, SUVs, and motorcycles. Even the safest truck drivers get into accidents because of the challenges they face when driving large trucks- and there are negligent commercial truck drivers who cause collisions with devastating consequences.

While people who are injured in collisions with large trucks are sometimes and very luckily only mildly injured, more often, their injuries are serious or catastrophic, even deadly. Any time you go to the doctor it costs money, even if you have healthcare coverage. Serious, catastrophic, and deadly injuries have significant costs that start immediately in the aftermath of a truck collision and typically go on for a long period if not the rest of the victim’s life.
