How is a truck accident different than a car accident?

 

A: A truck accident has a greater probability of causing significant or fatal injuries than a car accident because of the weight and size of the truck.   In most cases, a tractor trailer or big rig carrying a load of cargo may weigh in excess of 80,000 pounds, while a typical passenger vehicle weighs an average 3,000 pounds.
