Truck accidents are among the most devastating types of vehicle collisions, often resulting in severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.

Schiffer, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate legal support for truck accident victims. Our mission is to secure justice and full compensation for those affected by these catastrophic events.

Understanding the Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can occur for a variety of reasons, often involving negligence or unsafe practices. Common causes include:

• Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers often work long hours, leading to reduced reaction times and poor decision-making.
• Distracted Driving: Use of mobile devices, eating, or other distractions behind the wheel.
• Speeding and Reckless Driving: Excessive speed or aggressive driving behaviors that increase collision risks.
• Poor Vehicle Maintenance: Faulty brakes, worn tires, or neglected safety inspections.
• Overloaded Trucks: Exceeding weight limits can lead to loss of control or mechanical failures.
• Adverse Weather Conditions: Trucks are particularly susceptible to accidents in rain, snow, or high winds.

Common Injuries in Truck Accidents

Due to the size and weight disparity between trucks and passenger vehicles, truck accidents often result in severe injuries, such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Caused by head impact during the collision.
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Potentially leading to partial or total paralysis.
• Broken Bones: High-impact crashes often cause fractures requiring extensive treatment.
• Internal Injuries: Damage to organs that may not be immediately apparent.
• Burns: In cases involving fires or hazardous materials.

Consequences of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents can have life-altering consequences for victims and their families, including:

• Medical Expenses: Ongoing treatment and rehabilitation costs can quickly escalate.
• Lost Income: Victims may be unable to work, leading to significant financial strain.
• Emotional Trauma: Anxiety, PTSD, and depression are common after such traumatic events.
• Property Damage: Repair or replacement of vehicles and personal belongings.
