New Jersey Truck Crashes
A traffic accident can be an extremely devastating experience for everyone involved. Millions of auto collisions are reported throughout the nation each and every year. A percentage of these involved trucks of all kinds. Over 4,000 fatal truck accidents happen in the United States each year, according to information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Truck accidents often result in severe injuries for victims, especially if large commercial trucks become involved.
Those who suffer injuries in truck accidents may be stuck in the hospital for prolonged periods of time, where they must undergo extensive medical care that may be difficult to deal with, painful, and exhausting. Recovering from a severe accident injury is not only stressful physically but can be mentally taxing and financially draining. Extreme auto accidents, sadly, often end in death for the people involved, leaving their family members to face not only grief and loss but also overwhelming costs related to their passing.
On average, over 3 million people suffer serious injuries in car crashes every year in the United States. In the state of New Jersey, tens of thousands of people become injured per year in auto collisions. Alarmingly, the majority of American auto accidents are caused by driver negligence. Distraction, intoxication, speeding, and fatigue are the four main types of driver intoxication that lead to car crashes in the US.
