There is no denying that fracking has had a major impact on the economy, the environment, and the people that live in the area. It has provided a lot of great jobs for people that want to work hard and make a lot of money. It has also, however, drastically changed the socio-economic status of many areas. One of the problems is that the surge in population has causes many more accidents. Some of these accidents are triple tragedy accidents. A Triple Tragedy Motor vehicle accidents are categorized depending on their severity. If you bump into someone, it’s just a fender bender. Annoying, but not deadly. Fatal accidents are those when someone dies in the collision. A triple tragedy is when three, or more, people die as the result of one wreck. Fracking and Triple Tragedies Fracking requires a lot of heavy trucks. These trucks were made for roads much larger than the ones that they travel on. This means that there are a lot of trucks out there that are travelling down roads that are too narrow. Inexperienced truck drivers can make deadly decisions when the roads become congested. The roads are often congested even though there are many people who carpool to the fracking site. Suppose there is a van with a dozen oil workers. When the area becomes congested the driver of that van, often sleep deprived, can make an error that results in an accident. The lives of all the oil workers are at risk. On the other hand, a semi-truck that loses control can wipe out the van, or even a whole line of cars, causing numerous fatalities. Preventing Triple Tragedies The goal of many is to eliminate all of the wrecks. However, this can only be done by modifying the infrastructure and building roads that can handle the traffic that is using them. But it also comes down to awareness. Knowing your surroundings, knowing your abilities, and knowing the road conditions are key to preventing accidents. Don’t take unnecessary risks in order to arrive at your destination sooner. If you have been involved in a fracking accident, you don’t have to take the insurance company’s settlement offer. Instead, get in touch with a fracking accident lawyer . You can be compensated the full amount that will provide you the money needed to be made whole.
