Making a Difference.
What if I have been in a Trucking Accident?
Close attention to detail makes all the difference in a trucking accident case. It can mean the difference between a large recovery and a small one or nothing at all.
The term "trucking accident" usually describes accidents involving "large trucks," or those weighing more than 10,000 pounds.
Most operators of these large trucks are responsible drivers; for example, in 2006 only 1 percent of large truck operators involved in collisions were found to be under the influence of alcohol. Nonetheless, trucking accidents still occur due to negligence.
And, as one might expect, statistics show that occupants of vehicles involved in collisions with large trucks do not fare well. In 2006, 76 percent of the fatalities resulting from large truck accidents were occupants of other vehicles.
