Regarding accidents with semis or tractor-trailers, since these are large vehicles, impacts can be brutal and cause a great deal of damage. Consequently, you tend to see more severe injuries from trucking accidents than you do with automobile accidents. An automobile is much easier to control when in a collision-type situation. The impacts will be more powerful in a large truck and usually cause more broken bones, back problems, and other more severe injuries. Overall, there’s a whole range of serious injuries that you can find, all at a higher rate, with trucking accidents.
