Las Vegas Large Truck Accidents

Large trucks, big rigs, 18-wheelers, and semi tractor trailer trucks are an essential and vital part of the American life —tractor trailer trucks transport most items in the United States. Large commercial trucks also account for more than their share of serious injuries and traffic deaths on America’s highways.

Trucking companies are required to follow Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations concerning their equipment and their drivers’ hours of service. Commercial trucking companies impose difficult delivery dates on all of their truck drivers because the quicker the cargos are delivered the more money the commercial truck companies can make. Unfortunately, this time pressure creates a lot of stress for the truck drivers, which causes truck drivers to drive for long hours in all types of weather and road conditions.

Because cars are not built to withstand the impact of a truck, truck accidents often result in severe or even fatal injuries.
