TRUCK ACCIDENT

A large truck can weigh more than 80,000 pounds and truck accidents often result in serioustruck accident injuries and a larger number of deaths than other traffic accidents.  The United States Department of Transportation publishes truck-accident statistics.  There are over 500,000 truck accidents each year. 

In fatal accidents involving tractor-trailers, the persons in the other vehicle are killed 98 percent of the time while the persons in the truck are killed only 2 percent of the time.

However, this does not indicate that the truck driver is mainly at fault in truck accidents.  On the contrary, more than 75 percent of the time, truck accidents are caused by an error of the other driver involved in the crash.  Truck drivers are required to undergo extensive training to operate these dangerous vehicles safely.  Most truck drivers are fully aware of their responsibility to act carefully and safely in the operation of their vehicles. 

When a truck driver fails to comply with their duty to use due care and causes an accident, the persons injured are entitled to full compensation for all damages that they sustain.  On the other hand, when a truck driver suffers injury and damages because of the negligence of another driver they are equally entitled to recover full compensation for all of their damages.

If you have been involved in a truck accident, contact Edward E. Wallace Law Firm to protect your rights.
