Trucks like semi-trucks, tractor trailers, or 18-wheelers cause serious, if not catastrophic accidents. Government statistics show that in 2012 25,000 people were hurt in large truck accidents.

Under California law, while both drivers and pedestrians must be aware that motor vehicles can cause serious injuries, drivers must use more care than pedestrians. Pedestrians are hit and injured by drivers for many reasons, including drivers running stoplights or stop signs, drivers not stopping or ignoring pedestrians in crosswalks, and drivers not paying attention to pedestrians.
