18-Wheeler Accidents
18-wheeler accidents are a major issue, with approximately 500,000 truck-related accidents annually in the U.S., resulting in around 5,000 fatalities. These accidents are often caused by driver error, such as fatigue, distraction, or substance abuse. Given the size and weight of 18-wheelers, injuries can be severe, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, burns, and lacerations.
