Consequences of Truck Driving Accidents in Memphis, Tennessee

A truck driving accident may cause serious injuries or may result in death – most often to the drivers and passengers of other vehicles, or to non-occupants (pedestrians or bicyclists). In fact, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) reports that according to 2007 truck accident statistics, only 17% of all fatalities in truck accidents were occupants of the large truck. These statistics were compiled regarding all trucks weighing in excess of 10,000 pounds.

Why are truck driving accident victims almost always not the occupants of the truck? A large commercial truck may weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Compare this to a typical car or truck which may weigh 2,000 to 5,000 pounds and you can get an idea of just how much damage the commercial truck may cause to the other vehicle or vehicles in the accident.
