Have you ever had a close call with a semi truck? You most likely are not alone.

People are injured in truck accidents on a daily basis throughout the country. In 2019, over 180,000 people were injured in auto accidents involving a tractor-trailer truck. From 2000 through 2020, the rate of injuries from trucking accidents stayed relatively the same, according to data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This suggests that roadway safety, specifically related to tractor trailers, is not improving.
