Anyone who commutes regularly is familiar with commercial trucks barreling down the highway. While they provide an essential service—moving goods and products across the country—their sheer size and weight pose a significant danger to other drivers on the road if they’re involved in a truck accident.

But what happens if you are unfortunate enough to be in an accident caused by a truck?
