Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Semi Truck Accidents, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents

New York City Garbage Truck Accidents Remain Deadly

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Commercial Vehicule Accident, Garbage Truck Accident, Truck Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

Too many accidents involving New York City garbage trucks end badly, even when no one dies. This remains true since many of these large sanitation trucks weigh about 72,000 pounds. Pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists -- and even passenger vehicle occupants -- rarely escape major injuries after being hit by one of these massive vehicles. Even smaller garbage trucks weighing between 50,000 and 60,000 pounds often wield deadly force when they hit the average American passenger car that weighs between about 2,600 and 4,400 pounds. One of the most tragic New York City garbage truck accidents to occur during recent years happened in...
