18-Wheeler Truck Accident Attorneys in Montgomery County, New York When 80,000 Pounds Changes Everything The impact was catastrophic. One moment you're driving home on the New York State Thruway through Montgomery County. The next, an 80,000-pound truck is jackknifing across three lanes of ice-slicked highway. Your car weighs 4,000 pounds. That's not a fair fight. Every 16 minutes, someone in America is injured in a commercial truck crash. But here in Montgomery County, the risk cuts deeper. We're bisected by I-90—the New York State Thruway—a vital freight corridor connecting Albany to Buffalo and beyond.

If you're reading this, you or someone you love has already felt that impact. The medical bills are mounting. The pain is constant.
