Truck Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Truck accidents are not uncommon in Pennsylvania. In fact, these accidents happen weekly throughout the state due to the recklessness of others. In one recent year in the U.S., it was reported that approximately 119,000 people sustained severe injuries in truck accidents due to careless acts. Though truck drivers are supposed to be some of the safest drivers on our roads, these collisions still happen in the blink of an eye even when the simplest road mistake is made. Your life could be impacted in many ways by an unexpected truck accident. Speaking with an attorney is in your best interests during these difficult times.

Truck-related crashes are known for being some of the most catastrophic accidents on our roads due to the sheer size of trucks alone. A truck driver spends a long period of time on our roads, which is why they are more likely than other parties to engage in some of the following aspects:

• Distracted driving
• Traveling well over the speed limit
• Falling asleep behind the wheel

Truck drivers are always trying to get to their destination in a certain amount of time, which can put unnecessary pressure on them. This means that a driver could miss out on sleep or speed on our highways.
