Truck Accidents in Louisville

Crashes involving commercial trucks can cause catastrophic injuries due to their massive size and weight. In Kentucky, thousands of truck and commercial vehicle accidents occur each year, often leading to severe injuries, costly hospital stays, and long recovery periods. 

Truck accidents often result from several common factors, such as:

• Driver fatigue from long hours behind the wheel
• Distracted driving or cellphone use
• Improperly loaded cargo shifting during transit
• Faulty brakes or mechanical failures
• Speeding or following too closely

Victims of serious truck collisions may face extensive medical treatment, lost wages, and emotional suffering. Compensation can help cover hospital bills, rehabilitation, and other long-term costs while easing the financial burden caused by the accident. 

An experienced Louisville personal injury lawyer can guide victims through the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and pursue full compensation for their losses.
