It’s not always safe to share the road with a massive semi-truck. People who drive trucks often work long hours, which can cause them to make mistakes on the road. Every year, more than 500,000 accidents involving big trucks are reported on American roads. These accidents kill over 5,000 people and leave many more with serious injuries. A big rig can weigh up to 70,000 pounds when it’s fully loaded, which is more than enough to cause devastation in the event of a crash. The people inside of smaller cars are more likely to be seriously hurt in truck accidents, according to statistics. You need to be ready to pursue a strong claim for compensation after a crash by working closely with a trained team of lawyers.
