Each year, there are nearly 500,000 collisions involving 18-wheelers reported in the United States. These collisions result in nearly 5,000 deaths. Of those killed, 98% involved those inside passenger-vehicles.

These large vehicles can cause devastating injuries in the event of a crash. Driver inexperience is a leading cause of deadly commercial vehicle accidents as companies are trying to fill positions with a shortage of drivers. When negligence of another party causes a crash, injured victims should consult with an Illinois trucking injury lawyer.
