Truck Accident Injury Attorneys in Southern Illinois

Virtually any truck accident can result in injury to the individuals involved. Most often, the occupants of the other vehicles or non-occupants (pedestrians or cyclists) are the ones who are seriously injured or who lose their lives in truck accidents. According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) 83% of the fatalities that occurred in truck accidents throughout the U.S. in 2007 were people other than the occupants of the large truck.
