What many people may not necessarily realize is that there are a lot of different kinds of trucks out there. The way in which an accident occurs and the damage that results often depends on the type of truck involved. Additionally, the driver of one truck may be subject to different types of requirements (licensing, for example) than the driver of another kind of truck. If you don’t know what kind of truck caused your accident, that’s okay. The attorneys at the May Firm have experience identifying different kinds of trucks and know plenty of experts who can help figure it out too.

7. ● TRUCKING ACCIDENT INFORMATION AND STATISTICS ○ ● ● In 2013 there were 30,057 fatal crashes on the nation’s roadways; 3,806 (12.7%) of these accidents involved at least one large truck or bus, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In addition, there were an estimated 5,657,000 nonfatal crashes, 385,000 (6.8%) of which involved at least one large truck or bus. ●

8. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), there were 3,622 fatal accidents involving trucks in 2015. In 2017 there were 4,237 fatal truck accidents. This is an increase of 615 fatal truck wrecks in just two years! WHAT TO DO AFTER A CRASH INVOLVING A TRUCK The moments after a crash can be just as, if not more, dangerous than the initial impact. A collision with a large vehicle can obstruct the roadway, making bystanders and survivors less visible to other vehicles passing by. Blind spots on the road and bad weather conditions can add to existing hazards.

9. After you have determined that you are safe, stay calm and attempt to verify that everyone else involved is also OK. Do not move injured persons if they are unable to move themselves, as you may exacerbate their injuries. If possible, wait a safe distance from the scene of the accident for help to arrive. As mentioned earlier, the scene of the collision may be unsafe. There are many reported examples of crash survivors being struck by other passing vehicles while waiting for first responders. Proceed with extreme caution. Call 911 as soon as possible so that first responders can help provide medical assistance and block oncoming traffic from causing additional injuries. Remember, as much as you may be tempted to, do not say things that could be used in court proceedings to establish your fault for the accident. We all want to say sorry after an accident, but saying the wrong thing could cause you to be held liable for a truck accident that you didn’t cause.
