Semi Truck Accident

Semi-Tractor Trailer Accidents

A 18-wheel semi-tractor trailer traveling at 70 miles per hour has twice as much energy as one at 50 mph. Automobiles are designed under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to encounter similar size vehicles, not 80,000 pound semis. The sheer size of a semi-tractor trailer allows the front bumper to be significantly higher off the ground, allowing it to possibly intrude into an automobile's passenger compartments resulting in catastrophic injury. The absence of side bumpers allows cars to become pinned underneath the trailer. Together these factors account for the high percentage of serious injuries and deaths in these crashes.
