Truck Accidents
Complex and always serious
Truck wreck lawsuits
Accidents involving tractor-trailers or 18-wheelers are some of the most devastating wrecks on our roadways. When a tractor-trailer and a car collide, it is very likely the accident results in death or severe injury of a passenger in the automobile. Each year, commercial truck accidents result in between 4,000 and 7,000 fatalities nationwide.
