The sight of trucks traversing highways is common; their imposing presence is a testament to their essential role in our economy. However, the hidden costs of trucking accidents leave a lasting impact on victims.
Semi-truck accidents are often extremely serious due to the fact they generally occur at high speeds on the freeway or interstate. While a small percentage of accidents occur on minor roads, most happen on larger roads. Data shows that most accidents occur between 6 am and 3 pm. Semi-truck accidents are scary and dangerous.
While statistically, semi-truck drivers are less likely to be a part of traffic accidents, they are more likely to be a part of serious accidents.
Car accidents can cause major inconveniences in any person’s life. There are medical bills and treatments to worry about, lost wages from being out of work, and additional damages that you are not sure if you will ever get recovery for. Typically, a car accident is between two passenger vehicles. When there is an accident involving a semi-truck, however, there is an extra layer of care that must be considered.
