According to the National Weather Service "Each year, more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. "

In 2018 TOIRMA experienced an increase in tailgate related claims. There have been a variety of circumstances and conditions that have contributed to this increase. Tailgates not closed properly and leaking materials, tailgates suddenly opening due to not being closed correctly, and tailgates simply falling off into oncoming traffic were the most common occurrences.
