Research from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration suggests that 10% of the nearly 33,00 victims in fatal vehicle accidents are killed in crashes involving semi and big rig trucks. The same reports suggests that over 70,000 people suffer serious injury in a trucking accident in the United States. The bad news is that less than 15% of these victims are the driver of the large truck involved in the accident. There are many causes for serious injury and fatal trucking accidents in Kansas City.
