Why Truck Accidents Are So Dangerous
Large commercial trucks are heavy, powerful vehicles. Passenger cars are often no match in collisions. According to federal data:
- 98% of fatalities in two-vehicle crashes with trucks are occupants of the passenger vehicle.
- Trucking accidents kill over 5,000 people annually in the U.S. and injure nearly 150,000.
- Financial losses from truck accidents are estimated at $19 billion annually, including medical bills, property damage, and lost wages.
Even a relatively minor crash can have devastating consequences.
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Distracted driving is a leading factor:
- Texting, calling, or using GPS
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Fatigue and speeding
- Improper loading or mechanical failures
Commercial drivers owe a duty of care to other motorists. When they fail to focus, the consequences can be catastrophic.
Steps to Take After a Truck Accident
Your immediate actions matter:
- Prioritize Safety & Call 911 – Seek medical attention and law enforcement assistance.
- Document the Scene – Take photos of vehicles, skid marks, debris, and truck details. Collect witness information.
- Seek Medical Care – Even minor injuries should be evaluated promptly.
- Avoid Talking to Trucking Company Insurers – Statements can be used to reduce your claim.
- Contact a Truck Accident Lawyer – Early legal help preserves evidence, protects your rights, and ensures proper compensation.
Damages You May Recover
Victims of truck accidents may be entitled to:
- Medical expenses – Emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, therapy, future treatment
- Lost wages & earning capacity – Time off work and long-term impact
- Property damage – Vehicle repairs, towing, and other out-of-pocket costs
- Pain & suffering – Physical, emotional, and mental anguish
- Punitive damages – In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct
How Truck Accidents Differ From Car Accidents
Truck crashes are more complex due to:
- Multiple parties potentially at fault (driver, trucking company, cargo handlers, manufacturers)
- Federal and state trucking regulations
- Commercial insurance policies with high coverage limits
- Often more severe injuries
Having an experienced truck accident attorney can make a critical difference in protecting your rights and maximizing compensation.

“- Keron S.
Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
