Why is Your Kansas City Truck Accident Lawyer Writing an Article about the Causes of Truck Wrecks?
Many articles have been written about the causes of truck crashes. You ask a legitimate question when you inquire as to why a Kansas City truck accident lawyer would write another article about the cause of large truck and passenger car wrecks. The answer is because by studying the latest data, we hope that steps can be taken to avoid future Kansas City truck accidents that result in injuries, or worse, fatalities.What the Latest Numbers Show about the Cause of Large Truck and Passenger Car Crashes
Last October, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) released the latest data about the causes of large truck wrecks. This is what the DOT found about accidents between large trucks and passenger vehicle*:
- Large trucks hitting passenger cars was the most common type of accident between trucks and cars.
- Large trucks rear ending passenger cars accounted for 18% of fatalities and 4.3% of injuries.
- Passenger cars rear ending trucks accounted for 17% of fatalities and 20.4% of injuries.
- Large trucks crossing the center median accounted for 16% of fatalities and less than one percent of injuries.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a crash with a tractor trailer, then you may have the right to recover damages after the accident. However, in order to recover those damages, it is important to know what to do.
