10-4 Good Buddy, this is a Rubber Duck.

Those 18-wheelers are monstrous vehicles and they can be deadly ones as well! There are around 4000 large trucks involved in fatal accidents around the United States. Large trucks are defined as those which are more than five tons. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that more weight increases the chance that a trucking accident will result in serious injury or even death!

Trucks come in all shapes and sizes. They could be –

1.  UPS or Amazon delivery trucks.

2.  Cement trucks which are not easy for the operator to navigate.

3.  Garbage trucks which constantly start and stop in your neighborhood.

4.  The garden-variety 18-wheelers.

Big Rigs Delivering America’s Goods.

They have been an institution on America’s highways for decades…especially in The Great Southwest.  But, did you know that about every 15 minutes, a person is killed or seriously injured in an accident caused by tractor trailers, also called 18-wheelers, big rigs or semi-trucks?  Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur each year in the United States!

Some statistics that may surprise you are…sixty-eight percent of all fatal truck accidents happened not in cities, but in rural regions.  More than half of all fatal truck accidents occurred during the day, and almost 80% occurred on weekends.  Surprisingly, the majority of large truck crashes occur when the weather is clear and the roads are actually dry.

If you or a loved one have come out on the wrong end of a Big Rig mishap on the roads of The Great Southwest the place to turn is The Ken Wagner Law Firm located in Albuquerque NM.  Ken and his staff will fight for the compensation you deserve from the companies whose trucks were involved.  Call (505) 242-6300.

Big Rigs…Big Danger.

Let’s face it, they are a whole lot bigger than us.  Trucking accidents are serious business and we take each and every one of them very seriously.  How much do you think a typical tractor-trailer weighs?  The answer is about 80,000 pounds.  Now imagine that beast traveling at 65+ mph and the results can be catastrophic if you are clipped in your vehicle!

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration says there are about 4,000 fatal crashes each year in the United States.  Many of those occur on the highways of The Great Southwest where truckers travel fast.  The blame for an accident is about 50/50 between motorists and truck drivers, but you know who comes out better in those confrontations!
