The American highway is a busy place. Anyone who drives knows that freeways, highways and roads host a mix of commuting and commercial traffic. This flow of vehicles facilitates the American way of life, but sometimes the collision of passenger vehicles and commercial trucks in unavoidable.

In some cases, a collision is caused by a motorist who maneuvers too closely to a truck. They may abruptly change lanes in front of a truck, drive in the truck’s “No Zone” blind spot, or position themselves inside a truck’s right turn.

However, there are other examples where the driver of a truck or the company which owns the truck is clearly at fault. While many commercial drivers are skilled and patient, others take risks with their equipment. While many commercial trucking companies are conscientious, some knowingly place their drivers under grueling delivery schedules.

In 2007, there were over 4,000 fatal crashes and over 54,000 injurious crashes involving trucks and passenger vehicles. Sadly, when such accidents occur, the passenger vehicle and its occupants are likely to sustain much greater damage than the truck or its driver.
