In the bustling landscape of the United States trucking industry, expedited truckers are essential to America's supply needs, navigating countless miles of roadways to keep goods moving. However, amidst the hustle and bustle, accidents are an unfortunate reality, causing significant income loss due to downtime. Even more concerning is that a considerable percentage of truckers are unaware of their rights to recoup this lost income, leaving substantial amounts of money unclaimed each year.

The Stark Reality: 140,000-160,000 Large Truck Accidents per Year

Each year, an estimated 140,000 to 160,000 accidents involving large trucks over 10,000 pounds occur in the United States,* resulting in significant income loss due to downtime. Whether it's a minor collision or a major incident, the aftermath can disrupt operations and leave expediters facing financial uncertainty. With the average cost of downtime mounting with each passing day, the impact on a trucker's livelihood can be severe.

Ignorance Isn't Bliss: Lack of Awareness

Adding to the challenge is the startling fact that a very low percentage of truckers aren't aware of their rights when it comes to recouping income lost due to downtime after an accident. Many are left in the dark, unaware that they may be entitled to compensation for the income they've lost while their operations are suspended. As a result, a significant portion of the money that could help alleviate the financial strain caused by accidents goes unclaimed.
