According to statistics from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there are over 500,000 truck accidents each year in the United States. Some of the most common causes include:

• Driver Fatigue - Truck drivers often feel pressured to meet tight delivery windows, leading to sleep deprivation. Driving while fatigued dramatically increases accident risk.
• Equipment Failure - Issues with the truck's brakes, tires, cargo loading, or other maintenance problems can all precipitate wrecks.
• Distracted Driving - Truck drivers engaging in cell phone use, texting, eating or distracted driving greatly diminishes response times.
• Speeding and Reckless Driving - Trucking companies often set unreasonable delivery timetables that prompt drivers to speed and drive recklessly.
• Impaired Driving - Prescription medications, alcohol or illegal drugs lead truck drivers to operate vehicles erratically.

If negligent, reckless or intentional behavior by a truck driver or trucking company like FedEx, UPS, DHS, Amazon contributed to the accident that harmed you or a family member, you may have grounds to pursue financial compensation.

Due to the size and weight disparity between passenger vehicles and commercial trucks, truck accident injuries tend to be extremely severe. Some of the most common truck wreck injuries include:

• Internal Organ Damage - Massive crushing forces can rupture organs and cause internal bleeding.
• Amputations - Severing of limbs when vehicles collide or individuals are ejected from cars.
• Broken Bones - Fractured ribs, arms, legs and other orthopedic damage.
• Burn Injuries - Fires resulting from spilled diesel fuel or related fluids.
