Tractor Trailers: The Bigger They Are, the Worse They Crash
By Rick Shapiro, Virginia Tractor-Trailer Accident Attorney
If you had to guess, would you say tractor-trailer accident fatalities increased or decreased in 2011?
If you said more Americans died in crashes involving large commercial crashes, you are correct. As a Virginia (VA) trucking injury attorney, I’m sad to say that the number rose by 8.7 percent. To put it more visually, nearly 9 more people out of 100 who died in truck wrecks last year than did during 2010. The strange thing is that overall car accidents involving only passenger vehicles decreased.
