Fresno Trucking Accidents
A large truck can weigh 80,000 pounds, easily dwarfing other vehicles on the road and putting the drivers and passengers of cars, SUVs, and pick-up trucks at serious risk of devastating injury or death in the event of a crash. In the event of a trucking accident in Fresno, passengers can sustain serious injuries like broken bone fractures and displacement, severe burns, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury. These injuries, especially injuries to the brain or spinal cord, often require years of expensive medical treatment and can leave a victim with permanent damage and disability.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, in 2006, accidents involving large trucks accounted for more than 10 percent of traffic fatalities. In the same year, 1.2 percent of police-reported truck accidents resulted in fatalities, while only 0.6 percent of all accidents resulted in fatalities. The facts are clear.
