Commercial vehicle accidents involve motor vehicles operated for profit, typically used for transporting goods or passengers. In the United States, there are approximately 6.8 million commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, as reported by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
Examples of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) include:
Big rigs (semis, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers)
Box trucks (single-unit, straight trucks)
Cargo vans
City, coach, or school buses
Delivery vans
Dump trucks
Taxis or rideshare cars
In accidents involving commercial trucks, passengers in non-commercial vehicles are statistically 6 to 10 times more likely to sustain injuries or fatalities compared to occupants of the truck itself.
