Thousands of people are injured and killed each year in the United States after being involved in truck accidents on the streets and highways. Recent statistics have shown that every sixteen minutes in the U.S. a person suffers an injury or fatality due to a truck accident.Some factors that cause big rig and large truck accidents throughout Pennsylvania and the entire United States include fatigued drivers, dangerous operation of the vehicle, and excessive amounts of cargo.
In order to meet their deadlines, drivers of big rigs are on strict schedules in order to deliver their cargo in a timely manner. But this is no excuse for the reckless driving that is performed by many truck drivers, resulting in serious accidents. With big rigs weighing in at more than 10,000 pounds, any other type of motor vehicle is no match for a large truck. The repercussions of an accident involving a big rig can be devastating, possibly resulting in fractured bones, brain and head injuries, paralysis, back and neck injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
In the event of a truck accident, big rig operators and their employers must be held accountable for any injuries and fatalities that have ensued.
You may be able to recover damages for your truck accident related injuries, loss of wages, medical expenses, and other accident related expenses. Please contact Richard P. Haaz & Associates today for a free consultation to discuss your case.
