Why Serious Injuries Are Common in Semi-Truck Crashes
Semi-truck crashes often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of these vehicles. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh many times more than a passenger car, which increases the force of impact. Early-morning crashes can also carry added risks due to lower visibility and driver fatigue.
People involved in these crashes may face serious harm. Common injuries include head trauma, spinal damage, internal injuries, and fractures. Recovery can take time, and some injuries may require ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation.
Truck accidents in Wisconsin can result from a mix of human, mechanical, and environmental factors. Common causes include driver fatigue from long hours behind the wheel, distracted driving such as texting or managing devices while moving, and inadequate vehicle maintenance like brake or tire failures. Weather also plays a role — snow, ice, and rain can reduce traction and visibility, increasing the likelihood and severity of crashes involving large trucks.
In terms of recent data, Wisconsin sees thousands of large-truck crashes annually. In 2022 there were about 6,785 truck-involved accidents with roughly 1,846 injuries and 73 fatalities attributed to large trucks, based on state crash reports. That year accounted for around 5.26 % of all crashes involving a large truck on Wisconsin roads.
