Common Causes of Large Truck Accidents

These semi-trucks are critical for transporting goods up and down the coast, but they also pose a serious danger to local drivers. Semi-trucks are significantly larger than the average passenger car. Due to this, the occupants of the passenger vehicle will suffer the most trauma during an accident.

Delayed Injuries After a Car Accident
Car accident injuries are not always apparent after a wreck. For this reason, it is possible to mistakenly believe you did not suffer an injury after a car crash.

What Can I Do to Avoid a Connecticut Truck Accident?

Due to these size and weight discrepancies, passenger vehicle occupants suffer the majority of the injuries during… Read More
