Rear-end truck accidents are among the most dangerous and unavoidable accidents in which accident victims can be involved. These motor vehicle accidents occur unexpectedly when a truck hits the back of a car that is in front of it and usually you are at a complete stop. According to the Federal Carrier Safety Administration, rear-end truck accidents accounted for over 26% of all truck accidents<\/a> reported in the United States in 2019. These accidents led to 4,689 fatalities, 78,572 injuries, and over 150,000 property damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While some minor rear-end truck collisions may only cause property damage, most of these crashes usually cause severe injuries, or even death, and leave the victims with huge financial burden even when the accident was not their fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since any driver or passenger can become a victim of a rear-end truck accident, it is important to understand how these collisions happen, what to do when involved and how you can get legal representation to claim compensation after such collisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
