Feb | 6 | 11
RigDig™ reports provide information on both federally recordable accidents and post-accident inspections.
Federally recordable accidents are the most severe accidents that involve an injury, a fatality, or was involved in a tow-away accident. Since 2000, there have been over 600,000 federally recordable accidents involving a tow-away for class 3-8 trucks (for valid VINs) reported in RigDig. Of these accidents, over 23,000 resulted in a fatality.
RigDig™ reports also provide information on post-accident inspections. Often, a less severe, non-federally recordable accident may be identified by a post-accident inspection. Since 2000, there have been over 139,000 post-accident inspections for class 3 – 8 trucks.
Please be aware that not all accidents are reported to RigDig™. The less severe, fender benders are not typically reported to RigDig™. In addition, RigDig™ does not report accidents where the VIN may have been inaccurately documented.
