Trucking Accidents in Albuquerque
The number of trucks involved in lethal accidents in the United States has been on the rise, increasing nearly 1% to 4,862 commercial trucks in 2018. These massive vehicles were responsible for nearly 9% of deadly passenger-car accidents and nearly 112,000 injury accidents that year. There were 4,951 trucking fatalities reported in 2018 alone, marking a 46% increase from 2009.
Accidents involving large trucks are much different than typical vehicle collisions. They involve multiple parties and the resulting injuries can be life-changing for victims. These large commercial vehicles are massive and capable of inflicting devastating injuries and other damages in the event of a semi-truck accident in New Mexico, especially for those traveling in smaller passenger cars. Not only that, but you are dealing with a trucking company that may have acted recklessly, contributing to your accident, and these large companies often have experienced legal teams fighting to make sure that they pay as little as possible.
