Fatal Truck Accidents in Indiana

Every day, people lose their lives in auto accidents across the state of Indiana. Reports from 2022 show that nearly 100 people lost their lives in collisions across the state. These accidents are often caused by distracted, reckless, and drowsy drivers. When people engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles, they are likely to cause life-changing accidents for those involved. Unfortunately, accidents involving tractor-trailers are more likely to result in severe and fatal injuries.
