A Fort Myers truck accident often leaves devastated lives and families in its wake.

Tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, double trailers (22 wheelers), and large trucks (semi trucks) can cause devastating injuries when they crash into consumers driving cars, pick-up trucks, and SUVs. These truck accidents are often violent, resulting in rollovers, roof crush, vehicle occupant ejections, and permanent life-changing injuries.

It is not uncommon for the Fort Myers truck accident victim to suffer from severe personal injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), head injury, brain injury, spinal cord injury, paralysis, or even wrongful death.

Every year, thousands of large trucks are involved in traffic accidents in the United States. Of these, roughly 5,000 of these trucking accidents involve semi trailer trucks which cause death. Shockingly, one out of every eight traffic deaths is caused by a crash with a large truck. Not surprisingly, many of the deaths and injuries involve passengers in the cars struck by tractor-trailers.

There are regulations that govern these large commercial trucks. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), requires tractor-trailer and other large truck operators to obtain a commercial drivers license and undergo limited drug and alcohol testing.

Drivers are also required to keep detailed logs outlining their routes and travel. Despite these minimal requirements, safety experts blame truck driver fatigue – being tired or falling asleep at the wheel -- as the cause of dangerous and deadly truck accidents.
