Trucking Accident Injuries

North Carolina Truck Accident Lawyers

It's a shocking statistic. Large trucks like 18-wheelers and tractor-trailers are involved in more than twenty-five percent of deaths in multiple vehicle traffic accidents. Almost ninety-eight percent of the seriously injured due to truck accidents were the other driver, or drivers, of conventionally sized vehicles involved in the crash.

Likewise, here are additional statistics that we wish didn't exist, at our Law Firm of Schlosser & Pritchett, but further illustrate the seriousness of the problem. Every day, ninety Americans are injured or killed in a truck related accident. More than 450,000 large trucks find themselves in crashes each year. More than one million people were involved in those collisions. More than 5,000 are killed each year. More than 140,000 injuries occur due to serious trucking accidents. Fully one-third of those suffered catastrophic damage.

Representing Trucking Accident Injury Victims

An accident that involves a "big rig" or 18-wheeler vehicle almost always involves serious injuries and deaths, since cars are designed, by law, only to be able to handle impacts from other normal-sized vehicles.
