We’ve all been there – driving beside a massive 18-wheeler barreling down the freeway – wondering, “What if it the driver moves into my lane and pushes me off the road?”
With the size and power of large trucks increasing and Congress so far failing to tighten restrictions or impose new liability standards on trucking companies, we have every right to be concerned about what happens if involved in an accident involving a large truck.
And the figures raise further concerns. According to recent data, the death toll in truck-involved crashes rose 17 percent from 2009 to 2013.
The results of trucking accidents can be significant, from severe injury to damage to your own vehicle and loss of income during recovery. Whether a truck accident is a result of negligence or equipment failure, the consequent injuries and damages are all too often devastating.
