When individuals are injured in commercial vehicle accidents and boat accidents, unfortunately, the injuries tend to be much more severe than when people are involved in car accidents. According to some of the recent numbers, this isn't surprising.
More than 150,000 drivers are killed or injured annually in truck accidents. It's not surprising since trucks are two times more likely to be involved in traffic accidents than other vehicles. If a truck collides with your vehicle you are over five times more likely to be killed than the truck driver. Driver fatigue accounts for more than 40 percent of truck wrecks.
