Florida Truck Accidents
Traffic accidents that involve semi-trucks are often more severe than other types of collisions. This is because semi-trucks are approximately 20 to 30 times larger than the average passenger vehicles. Individuals who become involved in these types of accidents often suffer severe or even fatal injuries. On average, the United States sees over 120,000 semi-truck crashes per year that take the lives of over 5,000 people.
