BRAIN TRAUMA FROM TRUCK ACCIDENT
Trust Weitz & Luxenberg for personal injuries related to highway accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 43,000 people are killed in fatal car accidents each year in the United States. In New York State alone, 1,456 people lost their lives driving in 2006; and 558 (or 38 percent) of these accidents were alcohol-related, said an experienced accidents lawyer with our firm. Brain trauma from a truck accident is among the nation's most serious highway injuries, said the firm's Truck/SUV accident attorney.

NHTSA’s list of the Top 10 New York counties for fatal car crash accidents in 2006 showed that Suffolk County on Long Island ranked No. 1 (152 deaths). Suffolk County, also ranked No. 1 for alcohol-related fatalities (64) and motorcyclist fatalities (24).
