What’s different about a truck accident? Crashes involving trucks are more challenging than most car accident cases. The damage and injuries are usually very serious due to the extreme force of a collision with a huge truck. In addition, there is often more than one business or person responsible when a truck causes an accident. You can read more about truck accident cases here.
