In an average year, large commercial trucks account for about 5,000 deaths and 80,000 injuries on America’s roads. You’ve seen them. Semi-trucks speeding down the highway, sometimes with two or three trailers in tow. At loaded weights up to 40 tons, semis can be lethal, especially when up against a passenger car.

If you have been personally injured, or if a loved one has been killed, in an accident caused by a commercial vehicle driver, it’s important to take action right away while the evidence is still fresh. Common causes of truck accidents include speeding, texting and driving, aggressive or distracted driving, driver error and impaired driving. Truck-related cases like these can be complex due to the many parties potentially involved. Insurance companies, trucking firms, governments and others all want to influence the outcome. Don’t let them.
