Trucking Accident Injuries

The dangerous truth about Montgomery truck accidents

Even though large trucks account for only seven percent of the registered vehicles in the United States, they have been involved in almost 12 percent of fatal crashes. Unfortunately, the injuries incurred by a car driver in a Montgomery truck accident are often painful, permanent, life-threatening, or fatal.

Furthermore, companies that operate large commercial trucks are not always scrupulous organizations. In July 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that approximately nine percent of truck and bus companies ordered to close by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration for safety violations reconstituted themselves illegally. The GAO stated that the percentage of companies reinventing themselves illegally is likely to be higher, posing a danger to the public.
