Truck Accidents

 

American roads are becoming increasingly busy and dangerous to navigate. Even if you’re a defensive driver, you are at the mercy of others to stay safe in your vehicle every time you pull on to the road.

 

By their very nature, Big Rig Trucks are a particular source of danger, as truckers are under constant pressure to deliver their goods quickly. Therefore, they may cut corners, drive without the recommended amount of sleep, or take unnecessary risks. This lethal cocktail of conditions can spark a hazardous chain of events that could end with innocent lives being lost forever.

 

An Increased Risk

 

Truck accidents are potentially more severe than car accidents, as trucks are heavier and more likely to jack-knife or roll over. In addition to the problems associated with tiredness and the stress of reaching their destination within a time limit, poor weather conditions and increased stopping distances often cause truckers to lose control of their vehicle.

The frightening statistics for large truck accidents across the United States each year include:

  • Over 4,300 fatal accidents
  • Over 135,000 non-fatal crashes
  • An 80% greater likeliness of dying in a truck accident than one involving another automobile.

 

Protecting Your Rights

 

If you or your loved ones are involved in a collision with a truck, you may be entitled to claim compensation for emotional, financial and physical suffering. Insurance companies often want to complicate the process, ignoring the considerable pain, stress and loss of earnings that affect victims and their families. Seek immediate legal advice before approaching your insurance company, as it is important to get the necessary medical paperwork and witness statements and understand your rights before you are unwittingly coerced into giving them up entirely.
