Truck Accidents Are More Dangerous

Tractor-trailer accidents are different from regular car crashes because of the serious hazards these large trucks present:

• Tire blowouts — The weight and stress of a tractor-trailer can cause tires to fail, making it easy for the driver to lose control.
• Large blind spots — Truck drivers may not see nearby vehicles, increasing the risk of a collision.
• Rollover risk — Trucks have a high center of gravity and can tip over on curves, ramps, or in high winds.
• Underride accidents — Smaller vehicles can slide underneath a truck during a crash, often causing severe or fatal injuries. Rear guards help prevent this, but side underride accidents can still happen.
