Wrongful Death Commercial Vehicle Collision — $1.7 Million Result

Teen drivers ages 16 to 19 face the highest crash risk of any age group because they have the least experience behind the wheel. This guide reviews statistics on teen driving accidents, including when and on which days fatal crashes most often occur and the role of seat belt use, and explains the leading causes. It outlines what parents can do to help keep new drivers safer on the road.

This page describes three less-obvious causes of truck accidents. Tire blowouts can cause sudden loss of control and send heavy tire fragments (often 50-100 pounds) flying into traffic. High winds can knock over trailers because of their large surface area, leading many drivers to stay off roads above 60 mph. The article frames these alongside more common causes like rear-endings and poor merging, and suggests increasing following distance near trucks.
