When you get behind the wheel, you are accepting the risk that goes along with this. While you may try to protect yourself by driving larger SUVs or pickup trucks, these are still no match for fully loaded, 80,000-pound tractor trailers. When smaller vehicles are involved in an accident with big rigs, the results can be devastating for both the driver and passengers inside. Even the driver of the large truck may suffer serious injuries.
Trucking companies and their drivers are required to follow regulations set by federal, state, and local governing bodies to keep all drivers safe. Although this is the case, there are often cases where truck drivers are overworked, resulting in severe injuries and accidents on the road.
