Truck accidents may not be as common as car accidents, but they typically produce more serious injuries and fatalities than do car-to-car accidents. Truck drivers have different sets of rules they must follow and they face different risk factors than car drivers do.

For example, trucks weigh much more and therefore require a greater distance to stop. Also, because of their size, they must make extra-wide turns. In addition, there could be multiple parties who contribute to getting a truck on the road — including the driver him or her self, those who load the freight, mechanics and inspectors — and more people mean a greater likelihood of human error or mistakes.

A rig is usually owned by someone different than the owner of the trailer (which brings in the issues of safety checks, truck maintenance and compliance). The driver (possibly suffering from fatigue or driving recklessly) may be a hired hand. There are different people that load the truck (possibly contributing to improper load balancing).

All these variables have the potential of causing a truck accident. The high number of trucks on I-75 and I-95, major shipping corridors that run through South Florida, also increase the likelihood that collisions will occur.
