Trucks are a large part of the traffic operating on Canadian roads, especially in the border provinces, where the proportion of truck traffic has been on the increase at border-crossings. Tractors and trailers are also commonly spotted on the roads in rural areas, farmlands and agricultural locations.
Due to their size, weight and volume, trucks, tractors and trailers cause enormous damage to smaller vehicles and road-users when collisions occur.
Thousands of people suffer a range of injuries in such collisions. Most of them are catastrophic injuries and fatalities are also common.
If you or someone known to you has suffered injuries in a truck/tractor-trailer accident, contact an O’Brien personal injury lawyer without delay once the medical emergency has been taken care of. Accidents leave a trail of destruction in their wake and result in huge physical, financial and emotional trauma for the injured person and their family. A free consultation injury lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you on seeking compensation.
