Truck & Big Rig Accidents
Collisions involving large trucks—those weighing over 10,000 pounds—are some of the most devastating accidents on the road. Each year in the United States, there are more than 525,000 trucking accidents. Over 5,000 of those crashes result in fatalities, and tens of thousands more cause serious injuries. Tragically, the vast majority of those killed or injured are passengers in smaller vehicles, not the truck drivers.
Because of their size and weight, trucks can cause massive damage in an instant. These crashes often lead to crushed vehicles, severe physical trauma, and overwhelming financial burdens for those involved. And when a trucking accident happens, the legal landscape gets complicated fast—multiple parties could be responsible, including the driver, trucking company, or even the manufacturer of the vehicle or its parts.
If you’re ever involved in a trucking accident, it’s critical to document everything you can—take photos, collect witness info, and seek medical care right away. These accidents are rarely minor, and the aftermath can last months or years.
