How Are Truck Accidents Worse Than Car Accidents?

Truck crashes result in more serious injuries than other kinds of collisions. Because of their weight and large size, tractor-trailers exert a greater force on the objects they hit, causing more damage. Often, truck’s large blind spots exacerbate crashes. Drivers can’t see the other vehicles, and so they fail to stop or slow down at all. Trucks may also cause catastrophic rollover or jackknife accidents, which often involve multiple vehicles and fatalities.
