Dump Truck Accidents in Ohio
More than 300 people were killed after being involved in a crash with a dump truck. Someone performing maintenance on the vehicle resulted in over 60 of these dump-truck-related deaths. Crush injuries caused 22 fatalities. These types of incidents involve people being trapped between the truck’s frame and the bed.
Large trucks may inflict catastrophic injuries in the case of a collision with another vehicle. Inexperienced truck drivers are a primary cause of lethal commercial vehicle accidents as employers rush to fill vacancies due to a driver shortage. This irresponsibility leads to major crashes involving 18-wheelers and commercial vehicles. Injured victims can contact a severe injury lawyer about pursuing a personal injury claim to recover lost damages when another driver’s carelessness causes an accident.
