Wrongful Death Attorney in Delaware — Truck Accidents
When You Have Lost a Loved One in a Fatal Truck Accident
Most commercial trucks are more than 50 feet long, and some can weigh up to 75,000 pounds. When a passenger vehicle collides with a semi, big rig, tractor-trailer or 18-wheeler, the consequences are often devastating and frequently fatal. Traffic fatalities in truck accidents number more than 5,000 every year.
