All kinds of motor vehicle accidents can lead to serious injury, but truck accidents are especially dangerous. Simply because of their size and weight, large trucks are much more likely to cause serious injury or death when they collide with smaller vehicles. Those injured in a truck accident may suffer serious injuries that render them disabled, disfigured, facing a long recovery, burdened by medical expenses, and unable to work. If the truck driver or trucking company is at fault, then the victim may be able to recover compensation by filing a lawsuit, but that process can be long, expensive and difficult.
