Each year, nearly 500,000 large trucks are involved in traffic collisions in the United States. Of these, nearly 5,000 involved fatalities. Due to the size and weight of a large truck, the risk of death and injury to people in the other vehicle becomes far greater. Of the fatalities typically resulting from crashes involving large trucks, 78 percent are occupants of another vehicle, 8 percent are non-occupants and 15 percent are occupants of a large truck. Of the injuries typically resulting from crashes involving large trucks, 75 percent are occupants of another vehicle, three percent are non-occupants and 22 percent are occupants of a large truck. The likelihood of large truck cases involving a fatal multiple vehicle crash is 82 percent, compared with 62 percent for all passenger vehicles. The damages suffered, as a result, can be overwhelming.
If involved in a large truck accident, parties may be entitled to recover lost damages by filing a legal claim. Our lawyers have specialized knowledge of large truck cases and can help determine if a strong case exists and give appropriate legal counsel. Often more complicated than auto accident cases, large truck cases might require experts to review the accident and give testimony of contributing factors.
