According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “In 2017 there were 4,761 people killed in crashes involving large trucks.” Truck accidents happen more often than most people realize.
Due to their massive size and weight, truck accidents can cause significant damage to those involved in the accident. This can lead to serious and/or life-altering injuries, property damage, and even emotional damage, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Since trucking accidents can lead to serious damages, higher financial compensation may be available.
