  Unfortunately, this approach can end in disaster. Trucking accidents are some of the most devastating and serious types of auto accidents faced by drivers and passengers across the United States. When a truck accident happens, no one wins. Commercial trucks weigh tens of thousands of pounds and can crush a passenger vehicle easily, even at low speeds. At highway speeds, surviving a truck accident without life-threatening injuries is nothing short of miraculous. Passenger vehicles are simply not designed to withstand the devastating impact of an 18-wheeler.  Those fortunate enough to walk away from a truck accident are often left with lifelong injuries, including scars, fractures, severe whiplash, and more. No matter how severe a collision is, the costs associated with injury recovery and property damage repair can be significant.
