Truck and Head-On Crashes in New Hampshire

Head-on crashes involving large trucks often cause serious injuries due to the force of impact. In New Hampshire, these collisions become more common during the winter months. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility increase stopping distances and reduce driver control. Even careful drivers can face danger when road conditions change quickly.

Tractor-trailers pose unique risks in head-on crashes. These vehicles weigh far more than passenger cars. When a collision happens, occupants of smaller vehicles often suffer the worst injuries. Common injuries include broken bones, head trauma, spinal damage, and internal injuries. Recovery can take months and may require surgeries, therapy, and long-term care.

New Hampshire sees frequent truck traffic on major routes such as Route 101. These roads connect rural towns and busy commercial areas. During storms, narrow lanes and slick pavement raise the risk of serious crashes. State data shows winter weather plays a role in many injury accidents each year.

After a truck-related crash, injured victims often face overwhelming challenges. Medical bills can grow quickly. Many people miss work or lose income during recovery. A personal injury lawyer can help victims understand their rights and options. Attorneys often assist with gathering evidence, reviewing police reports, and dealing with insurance companies.

Compensation may be available for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and emotional distress. In serious cases, future medical costs and long-term disability may also be considered. Truck accidents can involve multiple parties, including drivers, trucking companies, and insurers, so legal guidance can help identify who may be held responsible for the crash.
