Fresno Semi Truck Accidents
Semi trucks are perhaps the most dangerous vehicles on the road. Often weighing more than twenty times the average passenger vehicle, they are harder to maneuver and more difficult to stop, and thus can be deadly to the passengers of other vehicles in the event of a crash.
If you or a loved one is injured in a Fresno semi truck accident, you may be faced with serious injuries – traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burns, broken bone fractures and displacement – that can require years of medical treatment and may impact your health, livelihood, and mobility for the rest of your life.
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, in 2006, accidents involving semi trucks account for more than 10 percent of traffic fatalities. In the same year, 1.2 percent of police-reported semi truck accidents result in fatalities, while only 0.6 percent of all accidents resulted in fatalities.
