Truck Accidents

Patton Law- On Your Side at Every Turn
  A collision with a truck or bus can be a horrible situation. The overall size of the two vehicles involved leads to catastrophic events, particularly when striking a family vehicle. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration , from 2011 to 2012:
  • The number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes increased by 5 percent, from 3,633 to 3,802, and the vehicle involvement rate for large trucks in fatal crashes (vehicles involved in fatal crashes per 100 million miles traveled by large trucks) increased by 4 percent.
  • The number of large trucks involved in injury crashes increased by 22 percent, from 63,000 to 77,000, and the vehicle involvement rate for large trucks in injury crashes increased by 22 percent.
  • The number of large trucks involved in property damage only crashes increased by 14 percent, from 221,000 to 253,000, and the vehicle involvement rate for large trucks in property damage only crashes also increased by 14 percent.
  • The number of buses involved in fatal crashes increased from 245 to 251, an increase of 2 percent, but the vehicle involvement rate for buses in fatal crashes decreased by 4 percent.
  • Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by large trucks increased by 0.3 percent, and bus VMT increased by 6.9 percent.  - See more at: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Data and Statistics Webpage
