The Fatal Truth: Trucking Accidents Kill Thousands of Americans Every Year
In the United States, trucking accidents occur with alarming frequency. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2009 more than 33,000 Americans died and more than 2.2 million were injured on highways across the United States. Of these accidents, a significant number were 18 Wheeler, large-truck accidents. In fact, on average someone is killed or injured in a large-truck accident every 16 minutes!
Tragically, Texas leads the nation in large-truck injuries and fatalities. According to one study, Texas has on average at least 100 more fatal 18 Wheeler accidents every year than any other state. A recent Dallas Morning News series revealed that Texas accidents alone accounted for nearly 10 percent of the trucking-related fatalities that occur nationwide.
Why Is the Trucking Industry So Fatal?
The short answer is money. Trucking revenues totaled an estimated $610 billion in 2009 and revenues are forecasted to double by 2015. Too often, profitability in the trucking industry comes at a tragic price. Every year, slip-shod industry practices cause the injury or death of thousands of innocent drivers.
- Negligent Truck Drivers. A recent U.S. Department of Transportation survey revealed that 44 percent of trucking accidents are the fault of truckers themselves – nearly double the American Trucking Association’s estimate of 25 percent.
- Negligent Truck Companies. State and federal laws are designed to keep the American public safe. However, many truckers and trucking companies frequently disregard them. In Texas, for instance, only 1,000 of the state’s 64,000 trucks underwent the required compliance reviews in 2005 and of those only 37 percent attained “Level 1” reviews!
