Should the accident victim or victims survive those injuries, there could be massive disfigurement, a need for extensive rehabilitation or an inability to work again.

While some truck accidents are due to road conditions, poor truck maintenance and other motorists, many are due to the truck driver’s error. This might include a driver who is operating the truck while drowsy or impaired by alcohol or drugs. Other truck driving negligence includes judgment errors, inattentive driving, failure to maintain the lane and traffic violations.
