Motor Vehicle Accidents

Every year millions of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of injury in the United States for people ages 1-34.

Many vehicle manufacturers have made safety improvements to their vehicles including air bags, rollover bars, reinforced frames, better tires, etc. Additionally, many states have passed tougher drunk driving laws. As a result, many lives may have been spared. However, with an ever increasing number of vehicles on the road, motor vehicle accidents still occur with alarming frequency. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, every 10 seconds someone in the United States is involved in a car accident.

The Federal Motor carrier Safety Regulations are designed to prevent accidents and apply to all employees, employers, and commercial vehicles transporting property or passengers in interstate/intrastate commerce. These laws are routinely violated and often result in severe accidents, injuries and death. Download and view our brochure to learn more!
