Wisconsin Truck Accident Injuries
Truck accidents are a leading cause of traffic death and injury in the United States.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2009, 3,380 people were killed by large trucks and 74,000 were injured. Including accidents that caused only property damage, there were over 286,000 truck accidents in 2009 alone. In Wisconsin in 2009, 191 people were killed in large truck accidents, 7,962 were injured and 21,466 accidents occurred where no one was injured, for a total of 29,599 total large truck accidents.
A fully-loaded 18 wheel truck rarely is involved in a small accident. Fortunately, there are laws governing commercial carriers aimed at protecting the public. These laws not only regulate the operating of a truck, but also insurance coverage.
