According to national statistics, 60% of large truck accident fatalities occurred due to head-on collisions. Each year thousand of people are involved in collisions with large trucks. Though head-on collisions with trucks are not as common as other types of truck accidents, they are often fatal. Head-on collisions with tractor trailer trucks are one of the most destructive types of accidents. Due to the size and weight of the vehicles, these accidents often result in serious, lifelong injury, or death.
Head-on collisions with trucks can occur due to many factors including, driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving while fatigued, or becoming distracted and wandering into the oncoming lane. Usually it is the passenger vehicle which encroaches on the truck’s lane federal statistics shows this scenario is ten times as likely to occur as the truck crossing into the car’s lane. And once this has occurred, the likelihood of a multi-vehicle vehicle accident is greatly increased.
Truck collisions can be complicated. Finding the cause of the accident and determing who is the negligent party is crucial. Many parties are involved in these cases, including the truck driver, the company they work for, insurance companies, law enforcement and governmental agencies, expert witnesses, investigators, witnesses, and others.
