Why Choose A Truck Accident Lawyer?
Truck accidents are among the most severe on the road due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, often resulting in catastrophic injuries or even fatalities. According to recent National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, there were 5,788 fatalities in large truck crashes in 2021. Survivors often face:
- Temporary or permanent disabilities
- Mounting medical bills
- Lost income or jobs
- Long-term emotional trauma
Victims also encounter the added challenge of dealing with multiple insurance companies that may attempt to undervalue or wrongfully deny claims. This is why having an experienced truck accident lawyer by your side is critical.
