Some Trucking Accident Facts
How Many Truck Accidents Each Year?
Significant truck accidents occur more often than they should, and often for reasons entirely avoidable by one factor or another. There are over half a million truck accidents yearly in the U.S., and the numbers are rising each year. In fact, from 2020 to 2021, the number of accidents caused by large commercial trucks and tractor-trailers increased by a record-breaking 26%.
And Just How Many Fatalities From Truck Accidents?
Approximately 5,000 to 10,000 fatal accidents occur annually among the half a million trucking accidents. Approximately 5,000 to 10,000 fatal accidents occur annually among the half a million trucking accidents. Though this number changes yearly, it is trending in the upward direction consistently and rapidly. Like the number of trucking accidents per year, the number of fatalities caused by large trucks is also rising. For example, between 2020 and 2021, the number of people killed by trucking accidents rose nearly 10%. As if that increase is not scary enough, the number of trucking accidents in 2021 represents an almost 50% increase from the number reported ten years prior.
Though only 1% of truck accidents result in at least one fatality, this number is disproportionately high when compared to deaths caused by passenger vehicles. While commercial trucks only account for approximately 1% of all cars on the road, they are responsible for about 10% of highway deaths. Because the drivers of these trucks are safely secured inside such large vehicles and positioned so high above the average point of impact, they generally suffer far less extensive injuries than the individuals inside the cars that they collide with. Approximately 72% of trucking accident fatalities are men, women, and children who are either driving or riding passengers in a vehicle other than the truck itself.
What About Truck Accident Injuries?
As you can probably assume, the dramatic rise in the number of trucking accidents has resulted not just in more fatalities but also in more injuries. However, if you guessed that maybe 50,000 people were injured in truck accidents each year, or perhaps 75,000 or even 100,000, you would be sorely mistaken. In 2021, approximately 117,300 truck accidents resulted in at least one injury. These injuries ranged in severity from relatively minor to nearly fatal and not only represented a 12% increase from the year prior but a 15% increase from five years prior.
Don’t Forget About the Property Damage
Though no exact numbers are available to tell us just how many truck accidents result in property damage, common sense tells us that it is a lot. Large trucks, especially tractor-trailers, are not only hefty but often haul massive loads of goods and materials. This problem is compounded by these tractor-trailers carrying loads dramatically heavier than legally permitted. In either instance, when these trucks collide with passenger vehicles, the damage done to those vehicles and the personal property inside of them can be disastrous.
What Causes Semi-Truck Accidents?
Several separate and intertwining factors contribute to the high number of truck accidents that occur each year within the United States and, more specifically, within North Carolina. And now is a good time to reiterate that most truck accidents are avoidable. Some degree of driver error negligence or negligence by some other actor almost always causes truck accidents. Though some accidents are caused by hazardous weather and honest mistakes made by otherwise responsible drivers, that is more of the exception than the rule.
The most common cause of truck accidents in North Carolina is driver fatigue, as truck drivers are notoriously exhausted due to working dangerously long hours to meet unrealistically tight deadlines. Other driver-related causes of truck accidents include speeding, cell phone use, generally distracted driving, and driving while under the influence. Truck driver speeding accounts for about 7% of all trucking accidents yearly, while truck driver intoxication accounts for another 7%.
Truck accidents are often caused by someone other than the truck’s driver. Some common causes of truck accidents that third parties cause include improper equipment maintenance, inadequate safety training, and overloaded trucks dramatically heavier than legally permitted by the Department of Transportation’s (otherwise known as the DOT’s) weight limitations.
Trucking Accidents in North Carolina, Specifically
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) collects information year-round and offers the most accurate statistical information regarding automobile accidents in North Carolina. Because this information takes a while to compile and accurately convey in grids and graphs, the most recently published report usually contains information gathered a year or more prior. The most current report presently available collection of car accident facts is the North Carolina 2022 Traffic Crash Facts report.
The North Carolina 2022 Traffic Crash Facts report divides automobile accidents by vehicle type, using a list of over 40 different types of vehicles. The portion of the report that deals with large trucks and buses is titled “Commercial Motor Vehicle Crashes by Vehicle Type” and lists the many types of large commercial vehicles on the road in North Carolina. This subsection reveals that in 2022, there were 299,424 commercial vehicle crashes in the State of North Carolina. This represents almost 60,000 more commercial vehicle collisions than occurred a decade prior and nearly 26,000 more than occurred two years prior. These comparisons show how dangerously common truck accidents are becoming at an alarming rate.
Of the almost 300,000 truck accidents in 2022, 71,964 resulted in physical injury. This represents nearly 3,000 more injuries than reported two years prior and over 4,000 more than reported ten years prior. This portrays the terrifying reality that almost one-quarter of all trucking accidents end with someone getting hurt.
Of the nearly 300,000 truck accidents in 2022, 1,647 were fatal. This represents 124 more deaths caused by trucking accidents than were reported two years prior and almost 500 more than were reported ten years prior.
These comparisons show that, like truck accidents within the state of North Carolina, injuries and deaths caused by truck accidents are dramatically on the rise. The only good news is that these accidents could have and should have resulted in massive payouts for every single victim affected.
North Carolina Truck Accidents in the News
It seems as if every week, the news reports on a different truck accident in North Carolina. These crashes dominate the local news to such an extent because they are devastating and destructive, and they remind us of all that could quickly happen to us.
Perhaps you remember the highly publicized dump truck accident on Route I-26 near Asheville last October. To refresh your memory, that accident occurred because a large dump truck struck an overpass on the highway, backing up traffic for several miles. Unfortunately, a second truck played a role, as a semi did not see the standstill traffic in time to stop and crushed the seven vehicles directly in front of it. This resulted in the death of five passengers. Another recent and notable truck accident in the news involved a passenger car colliding with a tractor-trailer in Moore County, killing a family of four, including two small children aged 4 and 6.
These accidents resulted in some of the most horrific damages caused by significant truck accidents; however, the numbers show us that extreme cases are not the norm. Just because your accident may not have resulted in damages as extreme as these cases does not mean you are not entitled to compensation.
You Could Be Entitled to Money
Truck accidents of all magnitudes have the potential to end in big payouts for any victims who suffer any kind of damage. No matter the degree of damage, every victim of a truck accident is entitled to whatever amount of money would make them whole again. The amount of money a victim is entitled to depends on many factors, including:
- Property Damage
- Past and Future Medical Costs
- Lost Earnings
- Lost Earning Capacity
- Pain and Suffering
- Disfigurement
- Permanent Disability
- Emotional Distress
If you are one of the many individuals who lost a loved one as the result of a truck accident, you may be entitled to wrongful death payouts, which factor in things like:
- Funeral and wake costs
- Costs associated with burials.
- Loss of income
- Emotional distress
Your truck accident injury in North Carolina could be worth millions of dollars.
Who Pays for These Accidents? And How Much Do They Pay?
Like car accidents, truck accident settlements are paid out primarily by insurance companies. However, truck insurance policies are incredibly high, unlike most car insurance policies. The federal government imposes special requirements on trucks. Commercial trucks must carry premiums as high as millions of dollars to cover the potentially catastrophic damages these enormous trucks can cause.
Most large truck premiums are calculated by truck weight. For example, each general freight truck with a gross vehicle weight (also known as a GVW) of less than ten thousand pounds must have an insurance premium of at least $300,000. Each general freight truck with a gross vehicle weight over ten thousand pounds must carry an insurance premium of at least $750,000.
As if these premiums were not high enough, the federal government imposes separate requirements on trucks carrying specific types of cargo and requires them to have even higher premiums. For example, trucks transporting oil must have a minimum premium of $1 million. In addition, trucks transporting certain hazardous materials are required to carry insurance premiums of no less than $5 million.
Remember that other actors contribute to truck accidents besides the men and women driving the trucks. As mentioned above, truck accidents occur for several reasons, and sometimes, some outside actors do things or don’t do things that put these accidents in motion.
The most obvious example is when a large truck is just one of many vehicles involved in a multi-vehicle collision. In these instances, you may be entitled to compensation from multiple insurance companies, making your maximum insurance payout much higher. Another example of an instance where an outside actor might be liable for your truck accident injury relates to the general maintenance and repairs of the vehicle. Whether a company maintains its trucks or contracts the truck maintenance to a third-party company, improper truck maintenance is a significant cause of truck accidents. In addition, many manufacturers and other types of companies hire commercial trucking companies to transport their overloaded trucks until they are dramatically heavier than legally allowed. In some instances, two or more of these instances occur at one time, and upwards of ten different individuals and entities could be potential targets for a single lawsuit.
The highest recorded settlement for a truck accident was awarded in Georgia in 2016. In this case, a truck driver slammed into a line of cars without so much as hitting his brakes and killed five young nursing students. The company was accused of forcing its drivers to drive overnight with virtually no opportunity to sleep and without any verification that the drivers were alert and able to drive responsibly. The victims of this trucking accident were awarded a combined $80 million.
Among the highest-paying truck cases aside from this one is a $42 million case in Georgia where a widow collected for the death of her husband, who was struck by a truck driver who ran a stop sign. Another one of the highest-paying cases resulted in $21 million for a man who was hit by a tractor-trailer while walking on the side of the road and dragged on the ground for several yards. This results in the man suffering very significant injuries and ultimately having both of his legs amputated.

What Does a Raleigh Truck Accident Lawyer Do?
Some of the most devastating collisions on the roads involve large trucks. Knowledgeable Raleigh truck accident attorneys are available to help the victims and their families who have been injured or tragically killed in a trucking accident. Trucking companies have insurance adjusters who work to minimize the amount of your claim. Even truck accidents that involve fatalities or severe injuries will often be undervalued by the insurance adjusters. Raleigh truck accident lawyers fight for the victims’ rights of these horrific truck collisions.
How Will a Raleigh Truck Accident Attorney Help Me?
To ensure that you get a fair amount of compensation for your losses from the truck accident, an experienced truck accident lawyer is your best option. Our Raleigh truck accident attorneys are experts in negotiating with trucking companies and their insurance companies. We also excel at representing the victims of trucking accidents in court if a satisfactory settlement is not achieved.
Why is a Trucking Accident a Serious Situation?
The magnitude of most commercial trucks in comparison to the size and weight of the average passenger vehicle is monumental. This difference gives the trucks more force when they travel down the road and increases the devastation caused by a collision with other cars. The force of the impact with these massive vehicles often leads to fatalities and life-altering injuries. The United States Department of Transportation allows fully loaded trucks to weigh up to 80,000 pounds. That is twenty times heavier than the average passenger vehicle! The amount of damage truck accidents cause is catastrophic for smaller vehicles.
What Should I Do After an Accident Involving a Tractor Trailer?
After a truck accident, knowing what to do to prevent further injuries and protect your rights is essential. Many victims find themselves unable to do anything due to the extent of their injuries. The steps victims should take after a truck accident are crucial and similar to those taken after any automobile collision. These steps include the following:
- Get medical attention as soon as possible.
- Take notes and photographs of the truck accident scene.
- Consult with an experienced Raleigh truck accident attorney.
- Continue your medical treatment.
- Take pictures of your injuries and document your recovery
- Have the damage to your vehicle assessed and either replace or repair it
What Should I Do at the Scene of a Truck Accident?
When a truck accident occurs, everyone involved typically experiences some shock from the event. The traumatic event of a collision with a truck causes an adrenaline surge that can mask injuries, cloud judgment, and make people act erratically. The main thing to remember after a truck accident is to call the police and stay at the collision site unless you are transported for medical reasons. The police are trained to handle these circumstances and know precisely what to do. They will take control of the situation and ensure the scene is professionally documented. They will also take necessary measures to secure everyone’s safety.
What Are the Most Common Injuries After a Truck Accident?
Truck accidents have very high forces of impact, especially when high speeds are involved. The most common injuries after a trucking accident are broken bones. Fractures can occur due to crush injuries or an impact, twist, or stretch. All bones in the body are at risk of cracking during a truck accident, and many of these injuries are severe enough to need emergency medical treatment, surgery, and long-term rehabilitation.
What is a DOT Recordable Accident?
The DOT is the Department of Transportation in the United States and is responsible for setting safety regulations for all significant transportation methods. Any collision that involves a commercial motor vehicle is a DOT-recordable accident if it involves the following:
- An injury significant enough to require emergency medical care in a healthcare facility
- A fatality
- Enough damage to a vehicle that it has been rendered disabled and must be towed from the accident site
How Much Are Most Truck Accident Settlements?
The settlement amount varies widely between truck accidents because they depend on the accident’s circumstances and the injuries, fatalities, and damages that were caused. Minor truck accidents can settle for about 25,000 to $100,000, while severe ones can sometimes exceed $1,000,000.
How Long Do Trucking Accident Settlements Take?
The time it takes to settle for a trucking accident depends on many factors. For example, suppose the accident’s cause and the calculation of the resulting damages are relatively simple. In that case, the settlement should be reached much sooner than in a case where the cause of the trucking accident needs careful investigation and can be argued. Situations involving fatalities or injuries that require extensive and long-term medical care also take longer to resolve because the amount of damages is more difficult to calculate. A settlement may be reached in months, but it may not be enough to cover the victim’s long-term expenses from the collision. Some settlements take years of negotiations before both parties agree upon an amount, and sometimes, the lawsuit goes to trial, and a judge or jury decides the award amount through a verdict.
How Do I Get My Settlement Payment?
Settlement payments from trucking accidents are paid out in either one large amount or in a structured payment plan. Most settlement payouts are made in a lump sum and are paid by a check from the insurance company. If you had a lawyer, you typically receive the money from that lawyer after their fees have been deducted.
How is Pain and Suffering Calculated?
Pain and suffering cover noneconomic damages. It is difficult to put a dollar amount on pain and the lifestyle change that many victims of trucking accidents have to face, so a formula known as the multiplier method is used. The multiplier is between 1.5 and 5, representing the victim’s pain from the truck accident. The total amount of actual damages is multiplied by this number to determine the pain and suffering owed to the victim.
Why Do I Need a Raleigh Truck Accident Lawyer?
If you or your family member has been injured or killed in a truck accident, you need a truck accident attorney to make sure that your rights are protected. Truck accidents differ from car accidents because of the more damage caused and because trucking companies are also involved. There are also additional rules and factors that truck drivers and the companies they work for must follow. Truck accident lawsuits typically have high payouts that insurance companies fight very hard against. You need to know your rights to get a fair settlement.
Raleigh truck accident lawyers specialize in ensuring you receive fair compensation for all the damages you received from the collision. Our attorneys handle all negotiations on your behalf, so the insurance adjusters cannot trick you into saying something they will use against you.
What Are the Risks of Not Using a Raleigh Truck Accident Attorney?
Insurance companies employ adjusters to minimize the amount they pay for all claims. These adjusters are necessary to keep the insurance company profitable and premiums low for their clients. However, victims of trucking accidents are still entitled to receive total compensation for the damages they have suffered. These adjusters know that most people do not understand their full rights or how much they are legally entitled to receive. They will offer a low settlement amount and claim it is more than fair. They will also attempt to get you to say things they can use against you. For example, they may try to get you to admit some fault for the accident, or they may even try to place all the blame on you.
An experienced Raleigh truck accident lawyer knows all the tactics that insurance adjusters use, and they know how to avoid their traps. When a well-known truck accident attorney contacts the insurance company on your behalf, the adjuster is less likely to offer a low amount because they know their efforts will be futile. This means using a Raleigh truck accident attorney will get you a higher settlement amount in a shorter time.
How Common Are Truck Accidents in Raleigh?
According to North Carolina’s Department of Transportation, there were 386 accidents involving a tractor-trailer in 2021 in Wake County. There were also 299 accidents involving single-unit trucks with three or more axles.
What Are Common Causes of Truck Accidents?
Distracted driving is a significant contributor to motor vehicle crashes. Anything can be a potential distraction for drivers, such as cell phones, navigation devices, radios, food, beverages, signs or attractions by the road, and so on. A driver’s attention must only be pulled away from driving for a moment for a truck accident to occur.
The driver of the passenger vehicle causes the majority of truck accidents. Truck drivers are professionals who are held to high standards and must complete specialized training to drive commercially, so they are less likely to cause an accident than most drivers.
Truck accidents are complex to avoid once a dangerous situation arises because trucks require a longer stopping distance and have much less maneuverability than cars. This is why trucks always need more space in front of them. They also have large blind spots.
When driving a truck, being aware of the vehicles around you is essential, especially on your passenger side and behind you. For instance, making right turns without checking for cars on your passenger side can be hazardous. If a car drives up beside your truck when you move to the left to make a wide turn to the right, your turning truck could trap and crush the vehicle without you realizing that it was ever there. Therefore, it is crucial to be vigilant of your surroundings and make sure it is safe before making any turns.
How Can I Avoid a Truck Accident in Raleigh?
The best way to avoid an accident with a commercial vehicle is to give them space. Stay out of their blind spots and leave them plenty of room to stop. Some additional ways to avoid truck accidents include the following:
- Watch for distracted driving, such as swerving or drifting out of the designated lane.
- Never assume that a truck driver sees you or that they know you are there.
- Take extra care when merging onto interstates. Trucks are required to travel in the right lane and may be unable to move over to help you merge.
- Do not travel beside a truck when strong crosswinds could cause the car to topple onto your vehicle.
- Pay attention to your driving habits by not getting distracted, signaling your intentions, and staying sober.
What Is Required to Win a Truck Accident Lawsuit?
A knowledgeable Raleigh truck accident lawyer is your best asset for winning a truck accident lawsuit in Raleigh. Truck accident attorneys have extensive knowledge of the laws governing the trucking industry and may be able to find multiple sources of compensation. They also have experience negotiating with trucking and insurance companies, so they will not be powerfully armed to agree to an unfavorable settlement amount. Truck accident lawyers have dealt with many cases similar to yours, so they know what to do and how to win. They will also be able to give you an accurate estimate of how much your case is worth depending upon the circumstances of your truck accident and the severity of the damages you have suffered.
How Long Do I Have to File a Truck Accident Lawsuit in Raleigh?
The statute of limitations for personal injury in North Carolina is three years, and only two years for a wrongful death case. This may seem like a long time, but when you consider what is involved in thoroughly investigating a truck accident, the trucking company, the truck driver, your injuries, property damage, and any long-term medical treatments or rehabilitation you may need, the time passes quickly. Your Raleigh truck accident lawyer will be able to help you file before
The deadline. If you wait too long, the court will not consider your case, nor will an insurance company. Do not wait to contact a Raleigh truck accident attorney. The sooner you consult with a lawyer, the sooner they can begin working on your case.
What Happens If I Am Partially At Fault For a Trucking Accident in Raleigh?
North Carolina has a Contributory Negligence Law that prohibits drivers with any share of fault for the truck accident from collecting compensation for damages. In other words, if the trucking company or their insurance company can place any blame for the truck accident on you, they will not have to pay anything, and you will have to pay for your damages yourself. These companies will be looking for any possible way to prove that you did something to contribute to the cause of the truck accident.
Raleigh truck accident lawyers know this and will investigate the matter to find the truth and defend your rights. Your lawyer will also handle all negotiations on your behalf to prevent insurance companies from using tactics to trick you into admitting guilt or making you believe that the truck accident was your fault. Your truck accident attorney will also represent you in court with the findings from their investigation to prove that your negligence did not cause the collision and that you are legally entitled to compensation.
Are Commercial Vehicle Accidents Prevalent Around Raleigh, North Carolina?
North Carolina has had an alarming amount of commercial vehicle accidents. Two hundred seventy-three thousand five hundred seventy-three accidents were reported to the North Carolina Department of Transportation in 2020. Injuries occurred in over 69,000 of these collisions, and 1,523 involved at least one fatality.
Commercial vehicle accidents around Raleigh rank second to highest in North Carolina, with 28,714 collisions across Wake County. Of these crashes, 6,556 involved semi-tractor-trailers, and in 84 of these accidents, someone lost their life.
Commercial vehicles in North Carolina’s Department of Transportation include:
- Semi tractor trailers
- School buses
- Commercial buses
- Fire trucks
- Box trucks
What Should I Do If My Family Member Was Killed in a Truck Accident?
If your family member was killed in a truck accident, you should consult with a Raleigh truck accident attorney right away to discuss your legal rights and options. The Contributory Negligence Law still applies when a fatality is involved, so a truck accident lawyer is essential to achieve a successful lawsuit. Trucking companies and insurance companies will aggressively attempt to blame the accident on the deceased, who cannot defend themselves against such allegations. Experienced and knowledgeable truck accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate the collision to determine exactly what happened and to gather evidence of your family member’s innocence. Your lawyer will use this evidence to negotiate with the insurance company or take it to court if an acceptable settlement cannot be agreed upon.
It would help if you did not have to fight for justice on your own after losing a family member. Our Raleigh truck accident attorneys will take care of the legal process so you can mourn and hopefully feel some sense of closure when the process is complete.
What Evidence is Needed to Prove I Did Not Cause the Truck Accident?
North Carolina’s Contributory Negligence Law is harsh for victims of any type of accident. Truck accidents are particularly susceptible to misusing this rule because the large trucking companies and insurance companies would have to pay much higher amounts to the victims or their families in cases involving fatalities. These companies want to avoid large payouts at all costs.
Raleigh truck accident lawyers thoroughly investigated the accident and the circumstances leading up to the incident to search for evidence of the actual cause. They need to prove that the victim of the truck accident was not negligent in their driving or that any negligence on their part did not play any role in causing the collision. Truck accident lawyers look into many aspects, including the following:
- Police reports
- Traffic conditions
- Weather conditions
- Visibility around the accident site
- Witness statements.
- Accident reconstruction
- Photographs of the scene
- Pictures of the damage and injuries
- Surveillance footage of the area
- Skid marks or tire tracks.
- Road conditions
- Debris on or around the road
- The truck driver’s driving history
- The trucking company’s hiring process
- Involvement of alcohol or drugs
- The driver’s logbook
- Inspections and maintenance of the truck
- Tire and brake conditions of the car and trailer
- The stability of the load
- The weight of the cargo
- And so many more factors
What Are the Damages That I Can Claim After a Truck Accident?

This compensation will return you to your financial state before the accident. In other words, the guilty party should pay for all your expenses caused by their negligent actions. The most common damages that are claimed after a truck accident include:
