Truck Accidents in Mississippi
Truck accidents are known for being some of the most catastrophic and even fatal accidents that take place on our roads throughout the entire U.S. Mississippi holds one of the top 20 highest state percentages for truck accidents in the U.S. In fact, every year, about 2.1% of the large truck accidents in the U.S. occur in the state of Mississippi. Lives are taken as a result of these severe accidents every single year. Because tractor-trailers weigh tens of thousands more than passenger vehicles, these accidents are capable of leading to tremendous damage. If you have lost someone you love in a fatal collision, you should be prepared to speak with an attorney that you can trust.
Truck accidents have been happening at an alarming rate in the state of Mississippi. Drivers are expected to put in long hours at times and abide by hours-of-service rules so that they can get plenty of sleep before hitting the roads. Unfortunately, not all truck drivers or companies abide by these rules and so accidents take place in the blink of an eye in Mississippi and beyond.
