More than 400,000 accidents take place every year in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, thousands of these accidents result in fatal injuries. Commercial vehicles and large semi-trucks are involved in these accidents, the chances of fatal injuries are dramatically increased. Semi-trucks can weigh more than 80,000 pounds. When they strike other vehicles on the road, especially motorcyclists, the results can be catastrophic.
