Trucks, big rigs and tractor-trailers can be extremely dangerous when not operated in a safe manner. Of the many different types of accidents that occur on our roadways, truck accidents often involve the most catastrophic injuries because of their immense size and weight. According to recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 11,000 deaths occurred in the United States from 2010-2012 as a result truck accidents, big-rig accidents and tractor-trailer accidents. According to the same data, an additional 272,000 people were injured during the same period as result of accidents involving trucks, big-rigs and tractor-trailers. Some common causes of truck accidents are driver fatigue, cargo overload, uneven/improper loading, driver intoxication, improper braking, speeding and unsafe and/or negligent driving.
For those injured in a truck accident, big-rig accident or tractor-trailer accident, a personal injury lawsuit is likely the only means by which compensation may be obtained. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be available for certain types of economic loss, including past and future medical expenses, past and future lost earnings, lost earning capacity and loss of ability to provide household services. In addition, compensation may be available for certain types of noneconomic loss such as past and future physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, physical impairment, inconvenience, grief, anxiety and humiliation.
