Trucking Accident Lawyers in Your Area
A trucking accident usually involves a collision between
a large truck and a passenger car, other large truck, parked vehicle,
or pedestrian. However, a trucking accident
can also occur in the absence of other vehicles. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, approximately 13% of all motor
vehicle deaths involved heavy trucks. The high number of fatalities associated
with trucking accidents is due to the size, weight, and large blind spots
of the trucks..
