Truck Accidents in Indiana

Every year, numerous truck crashes that result in tragic outcomes take place in the United States. These accidents claim the lives of thousands of individuals and leave tens of thousands more with severe injuries, including broken bones, spinal cord injuries, and other debilitating conditions that require medical treatment. Various types of truck accidents occur daily in our state.

Underride crashes occur when smaller vehicles collide with trucks and become trapped beneath the trailer. These accidents often prove fatal for occupants of smaller vehicles due to the force and impact involved.

Jackknife accidents happen when the trailer of a semi-truck swings out to form a 90-degree angle with the cab. These crashes typically occur when trucks brake abruptly or when the trailer is improperly loaded. Jackknife accidents pose a significant danger, especially if another vehicle collides with the jackknifed truck.

T-bone collisions, also known as side-impact accidents, occur when the front of one vehicle crashes into the side of another. These accidents are frequently caused by drivers running red lights or failing to yield at intersections. T-bone crashes can be especially devastating for passengers in the struck vehicle, as they have minimal protection from the impact.

Rear-end collisions are a result of one vehicle crashing into the back of another. Distracted driving or following too closely often contributes to these accidents. While rear-end collisions may be less severe compared to other types of truck accidents, they can still cause severe injuries and damages to the involved parties.
