Methodology
Source: FMCSA Motor Carrier Crash File. Records cover 2015 to 2024.
- crashes: sum of column 'crashes' per year
- fatalities: sum of column 'fatalities' per year
- injuries: sum of column 'injuries' per year
Data for 2025 and 2026 is excluded: agencies receive reports for months after the fact, so the most recent figures are provisional and would understate the true totals.
Any group smaller than 10 is reported as “fewer than 10” rather than as a precise count; totals remain exact.
Analysis by CHG Personal Injury Lawyers. Every published figure is computed directly from the parsed source records by deterministic code; no figure is estimated or generated by a language model.
