Fatal Truck Accidents in Tampa, Florida

In 2008 alone, 4,229 people lost their lives in auto accidents involving large trucks. Of these, only 247 of the fatalities in multi-vehicle accidents were truck drivers, while 3,139 were occupants of other vehicles and 413 were non-occupants (pedestrians or bicyclists.) The other people involved in trucking accidents are far more likely to lose their lives than the drivers of the trucks. This is due to the immense size and weight of commercial trucks, which may weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds depending upon the load.
