Tractor-trailers are big and powerful, and they can be deadly. When a semi crashes, motorists may be severely injured or even killed. The attorneys at Carey & Danis have helped families nationwide who have suffered as a result of tractor-trailer collisions.

According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, approximately 385,000 large commercial trucks were involved in traffic crashes in the United States in 2006. Sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle that weighs more than 18,000 pounds is a truck driver on a tight delivery schedule. The temptation to cut corners is always present. Speeding, driving longer than the law allows, and using illegal drugs to stay awake are the means some truck drivers use. The results can be disastrous.

Unfortunately, the innocent motorists who share the highways with semis are the ones who suffer the most. In 2006 alone, crashes involving large trucks accounted for one of every nine traffic deaths.
