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.
RPWB attorneys have litigated truck wrecks for more than 40 years. We have the experience and resources to make certain our clients’ rights are protected and that they are adequately compensated. Please contact us if we can be of assistance.
