While the impacts of fatal truck accidents can be devastating to victims, including their families, the damage caused by these wrecks is actually far greater when looking at the bigger picture. In fact, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found that fatal truck accidents cost tens of billions of dollars to the national economy each year – about $40 billion to be more precise.

Just some of sources of these costs specifically include (but are by no means exclusive to) the costs of:

  • Response and cleanup in the immediate aftermath of fatal truck accidents
  • Medical treatments and care when it may be possible to try to save people involved in these collisions
  • Lost productivity, vehicle repair costs, repairs to the road(s) and related features, etc.
  • Subsequent investigations.

  • Getting financial support during these times can be crucial to putting a loved one to rest properly while alleviating some of families’ financial stresses during these times.
