A large truck is any truck which weighs more than 10,000 pounds; and in the United States large trucks are being driven on the highways at all hours of the day and night by truckers transporting large amounts of goods. Although these big trucks only represent 3% of the vehicles on the road, they account for more than 25% of multiple vehicle accident fatalities. In fact, large truck accidents result in thousands of serious injuries and deaths each year, many of which are due to negligence on the part of the truck driver.

There are both Federal and State regulations which were enacted to govern truck driving to ensure that the truck driver and other people on the road are safe. The amount of hours a driver may put in per day are governed by these laws, although some truckers disregard these important rules so that they may transport their shipments by the deadline. Many times this results in driver fatigue and in some cases drivers falling asleep at the wheel, which may lead to a serious truck related accident.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Associates has stated that driver fatigue causes up to 40% of all accidents involving large trucks. Other than driver fatigue, big rig accidents may be caused by mechanical failures, poorly maintained automotive equipment, and reckless or improper driving.
