In 2007, there were 178 fatal heavy truck crashes on Pennsylvania's roadways, interstate highways and turnpike, and over 3000 truck crashes resulting in injury. Philadelphia trucking accidents accounted for a significant percentage of these figures. These statistics are not surprising, considering the size of trucks and the stressful nature of the drivers' responsibilities on the roads, highways and turnpikes.
Considering how often a standard-sized auto is crushed when involved in a trucking accident, auto drivers who are not killed are likely to suffer serious injuries such as these:
- Major head injuries from flying objects (even if you're wearing a seatbelt).
- Neck and spinal injuries commonly resulting from the severe impact of a truck accident crash.
- Sprain, broken or severed limbs and other internal injuries caused when the vehicle is crushed around the car’s driver or passengers.
Even in these few examples, it is clear that injury from a trucking accident is often permanent, changing the victim’s life and the lives of their families forever.
If you have been involved in a trucking accident in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia or New Jersey, you need an accident attorney who is an experienced trucking accident lawyer and who knows that while truck accidents are similar to car accidents, the following conditions at the time of the accident must also be considered:
- Driver fatigue
- How the truck was loaded
- Road conditions
- Weather
