Collisions involving semi-trucks often result in severe or life-threatening injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Underride crashes, where a smaller vehicle becomes trapped beneath a truck, are among the most dangerous types of accidents, frequently leading to catastrophic injuries.
Wisconsin law requires truck drivers and other motorists to exercise caution at intersections and when merging onto major roadways. Investigators will typically examine factors such as speed, visibility, driver fatigue, and road conditions to determine the cause of a crash.
