Summer is Semi Truck High Traffic Season — and Semi Truck Accidents are Nothing Like Car Accidents
When summer hits, the roads get crowded. Family vacations, cross-country moves, and increased commercial activity all lead to a sharp rise in highway traffic. But while many drivers focus on their travel plans, they often overlook a major seasonal danger: a spike in semi truck traffic — and with it, a rise in devastating truck accidents.
Why Summer Is Especially Dangerous for Truck Accidents
Semi-trucks are the backbone of our nation’s supply chain, and summer brings even more of them to the road. Whether delivering goods for seasonal businesses or transporting materials for summer construction, 18-wheelers and commercial trucks flood interstates and rural highways alike.
This increased volume — combined with driver fatigue, construction zones, extreme heat, and longer daylight hours — creates the perfect storm for serious truck accidents.
Truck Accidents Are Not Just “Big Car Accidents”
If you’ve been hit by a semi truck, it’s important to understand this: truck accident cases are far more complex than car accident claims.
These cases are different for several key reasons:
-
Multiple Parties May Be Liable
The truck driver, trucking company, maintenance provider, cargo loader, or even the shipping company may share responsibility. -
Federal Regulations Apply
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforces strict rules regarding hours of service, inspections, and driver qualifications. Violations often play a critical role in truck accident claims. -
Severe Injuries and Higher Damages
Semi-trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, leading to catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or permanent disability. -
Aggressive Insurance Defense
Trucking companies employ insurers and defense lawyers trained to minimize payouts and shift blame away from the company.
