A large truck is any truck whose vehicle weight is over 10,000 pounds. Every year in the United States, thousands of motorists and truck drivers are killed and seriously injured by the negligent operation of large trucks or "semi's". Large trucks represent approximately 3% of all registered vehicles that are being driven in the U.S., yet they contribute to over 25% of the fatalities due to multiple vehicle auto accidents.

Since semis are so large, they are more likely to cause serious injuries and fatalities when involved in accidents with other motorists. It has been estimated that about 10% of people who are injured in large truck crashes will die and 98% of those killed or injured in trucking accidents are not the truck drivers.

Truckers who operate semis and 18 wheelers must obey rules at both the federal and state levels, to ensure that their safety and the safety of drivers and pedestrians around them. Some standards regulate the amount of hours that a trucker can drive in a certain period and determine proper timelines for vehicle maintenance. Faulty or inadequately maintained equipment and truck driver fatigue are two main causes of truck accidents. Truck drivers and trucking companies may be held responsible for accidents that occur because of negligence and non-compliance.

To protect your legal rights following a serious bodily injury resulting from a trucking accident, big rig crash or 18 wheeler accident, it is wise to immediately consult an experienced Pennsylvania truck accident law firm.
