A semi-truck accident can lead to serious and devastating injuries for victims. While car accidents can also cause injuries, a crash involving a semi-truck is more likely to cause damage. When fully loaded, a commercial truck can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. For comparison, a large non-commercial vehicle may weigh up to 5,000 pounds. It should be no secret, therefore, that a commercial vehicle accident has the potential for catastrophic consequences.
