Truck Accidents

For drivers on the road, one of the biggest risks they face every day are truck collisions. Whether there is a vehicle malfunction, someone is speeding through an intersection, or a trucker falls asleep behind the wheel on the highways, you hear about accidents involving trucks on the news far too often. Trucks weigh ten times or more than the usual vehicle, making accidents that much more dangerous. In fact, according to the American Association for Justice, collisions that involve trucks result in 5,000 deaths each year in the country. On top of that, there are 140,000 injuries annually that require medical treatment.

When someone or their loved one is in a truck accident, they need an experienced truck accidents lawyer who can guide them through each step of their case. There is so much at stake as a victim of a truck accident and a variety of needs. They may have medical issues that linger for the rest of their life. Or they may be unable to work for months and months due to their injuries. And for those who lost a loved one in an accident, there are a world of other concerns that they need to deal with as they grieve their loss.
