No matter what a commercial vehicle is carrying, if the vehicle is large enough and the cargo heavy enough, an accident can cause very real and painful damages and injuries. Such is the case when a tractor-trailer truck carrying turkeys crashes into a small passenger vehicle. This is just one of 500,000 truck accidents that take place annually. But in this case, not only can people and property be damaged, turkeys can be killed or injured as well. This only adds to the serious costs of a truck accident, especially when a passenger car is also involved. If you have been injured in a turkey truck accident, you can't take it lightly. You may be entitled to compensation. The only way you'll know for sure is to contact a traffic accident attorney and ask him to investigate.
