How many times have you turned on the news to check the traffic, only to hear about another semi-truck that has caused an accident? These accidents don’t just cause long commutes for motorists. They can mean huge medical expenses for accident victims.

More than 3,000 semi-truck accidents were reported in Kansas in 2010, and more than 10,000 were reported in Missouri. These accidents can result in fatalities and serious injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spine and neck injuries
  • Bone fractures
  • Internal injuries, like kidney and lung damage
  • Burn injuries and more

 

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration cites braking failure, traffic congestion, fatigue and distracted driving among the top reasons for these crashes.
