In the vast majority of cases, the drivers of commercial vehicles are professional drivers, who excel at maintaining safe habits on the road. As a Seattle car accident attorney, I know from experience that when a commercial driver makes a mistake, the repercussions can be severe.  Semi-trucks and many other commercial vehicles are so much larger and so much heavier than cars and other passenger vehicles that in a collision between the two, the car can easily be destroyed.  Monday evening, Komonews.com reported an accident that occurred during the evening rush on I-5 in Lynnwood in which a car got trapped underneath a semi-truck.  While the details of the crash are not clear, rescue crews had to free two people who were trapped in the car, and were taken to area hospitals with serious injuries.

Of the roughly 300,000 accidents that occur annually nationwide involving large trucks, about 50,000 of them result in injury, and about 3000 are fatal.  The damage that a commercial vehicle can do to a passenger car is incredible, and it is not unusual to have serious injuries in these types of accidents.  In addition to the injuries that are caused by commercial vehicles in trucking accidents, there are tens of billions of dollars of damage in these accidents.
