Accidents involving semi-trucks, like the one reported on Capitol Boulevard Southeast, can be particularly hazardous due to the size and weight disparity between trucks and passenger vehicles. Even at low speeds, such collisions can cause significant damage and injuries, especially when airbag deployment occurs.
Victims of truck accidents often face physical, emotional, and financial challenges. It is important for those affected to seek medical attention promptly and explore their legal options for pursuing compensation to cover damages such as medical expenses and lost income.
