Tractor Trailer Accidents
Tractor Trailer
Crashes cause the Largest Amount of Injuries.
Over 250,000 large truck and 18-wheeler accidents occur
each year in the U.S., and large truck related accidents
kill and injure over 150,000 Americans per year. While
large trucks and semi tractor-trailers comprise just 3%
of the vehicles on American roads, in multiple-vehicle
crashes trucks and 18-wheelers are involved in over 25%
of all passenger vehicle occupant deaths.
Nearly 78% of the people killed and 84% of the people
seriously injured in 2-vehicle crashes involving a
passenger vehicle and a large truck are the occupants of
the passenger vehicle.
Car occupants are not the only people with high risk
factors for death or serious injury in large truck and
semi tractor-trailer crashes. Over 700 truck drivers die
each year when they get behind the wheel.
If you are injured by tractor trailer's
negligence, you can recover for your medical expenses,
lost earnings, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of
life and other damages.
Whatever the damage or injury, we
understand that no amount of money can make things right. At
the same time, the economic and quality of life costs
associated with most automobile and tractor trailer accidents are staggering. We
routinely partner with some of the nations leading medical
professionals, accountants, life care planners, economists
and other experts to calculate the true costs and seek the
full financial compensation you will need to move forward in
life. Please
