Report: Truck Accident Injuries Did Not Decline in 2008

A report released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that there were 677 fatalities and 23,000 injuries in large truck accidents in 2008. Although fatalities in large truck accidents decreased by 16% in 2008, the number of injuries suffered in large truck crashes remained the same. Sadly, victims injured in large truck accidents are frequently left with permanent disabilities.

Occupants of other vehicles involved in truck accidents are more likely to suffer serious injuries than occupants of large trucks. Truck accident victims often suffer severe catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injury, paralysis, and traumatic brain injury, that can reduce the quality of their lives forever. When truck accidents are caused by driver negligence, accident victims are entitled to seek compensation for their injuries.
