Truck Accidents

The lawyers at Robert E. Craven & Associates handle a large number of Rhode Island truck and tractor trailer personal injury cases. Incredibly, every 16 minutes in this country a person is killed or injured in a truck accident. Accordingly, thousands of Americans each year are injured or lose their lives in accidents involving tractor-trailers, 18 wheelers, big rigs, semis, and other large commercial vehicles. Unsafe driving, oversized loads and various other treacherous practices increase the dangers in operating these trucks that weight up to 40 tons. In these accidents, not surprisingly, 97% of the fatalities are individuals in a passenger car or truck as opposed to the negligent driver of the commercial truck. The trucking industry is a $600 billion dollar business and, as you would expect, these companies have a lot quality truck accident attorneys at their disposal to vigorously fight personal injury claims from injured victims. Our truck accident lawyers have the experience and reputation to stand up to these companies to get fair compensation for our clients who have been injured in a truck accident.
