A $1.625 million settlement for a tractor-trailer crash caused by an improperly loaded trailer sits among the results KBG Injury Law points to when describing its truck accident practice in York, Pennsylvania. The firm has represented South Central Pennsylvania clients for nearly 40 years, a tenure it says shapes how it approaches the financial, physical, and emotional burdens that follow a serious truck crash.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration data cited by the firm shows 127,000 commercial trucks and buses were involved in injury crashes nationally in 2019, with 5,237 involved in fatal accidents that year, a two percent increase in fatal crashes and six percent increase in crashes overall compared to 2018. Closer to home, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation recorded 6,905 heavy truck crashes in 2020, resulting in 22 fatalities. KBG Injury Law attributes many of these wrecks to driver fatigue, inadequate training, improper loading, brake or tire failure, and blind spot errors, and notes that truckers are often paid based on delivery speed, an incentive structure that can push drivers past safe limits.
The firm’s York truck accident practice covers jackknife accidents, merging accidents, tire blowouts, and overloaded or improperly loaded cargo, along with truck accidents involving Amazon, FedEx, Walmart, and garbage truck fleets specifically. Common crash types the firm investigates include rollovers, rear-end collisions, underride accidents, T-bone crashes, and head-on collisions. Clients can reach KBG Injury Law at 717-848-3838.
