Large Percentage of Truck Accidents Occur in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties

No one doubts the seriousness of being involved in a California truck accident. A semi accident can leave you with critical and even fatal injuries. However, what you may not know is the frequency of truck accidents on the Southern California highways.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA), California truck accidents have been linked to thousands of injuries each year. Many of them have proven deadly. The FMSCA has reported that the majority of these accidents occurred in the counties of Los Angeles and San Bernardino.

Imagine the death toll if there were twenty-six 737 airplane crashes this year. A recent statistic suggests that the same amount of people will lose their lives this year in large truck crashes.

These shocking statistics do not take into account the financial burden that large truck crashes create. The FMSCA estimates that large truck accidents create $19 billion in costs annually.

If the truth be told, the statistics are meaningless if you or a loved one becomes involved in a big rig accident. The injuries can be catastrophic and leave you with a lifetime of pain and suffering. It can also leave you without the ability to earn a living. Don’t fight this battle alone.
