Statistics indicate that 18-wheeler accidents are much more likely to cause catastrophic injury or death, due to the weight and bulk of a truck or 18-wheeler which create a disproportionate safety issue, making the surrounding cars at-risk of serious injuries and damage if there is an accident.
Some of the most common causes of trucking accidents that cause injuries to victims are lack of training, overloaded trucks, brake defects or failures, poor driving conditions, driver fatigue or inexperience, speeding, failure to yield, dangerous or reckless driving, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and mechanical failure.
If you or a loved one has been victim of a truck accident you may be faced with damages including, but may not be limited to, medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral expenses.
