  1. Some Common Forms of Injuries as a Result of a Truck Accident

  2. The car accidents have high chances of causing fatality. They are known for being the number one cause of death in the United States. On the other hand, truck accidents have a lesser chance of occurring, but when they do, someone usually dies. Due to their sheer size and the weight of the cargo, trucks are extremely dangerous, especially for cars, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Simple put, truck accidents are catastrophic. Those who are blessed to survive this horrifying accident are usually hospitalized. Here are the most common injuries which could result from a truck accident.

  3. 01. Head Injuries When the head is injured, the time is ticking. The more time passed, the less chance the victim has of recovering. Every head injury has a high risk of causing permanent damage to the person. These injuries are usually associated with permanent loss of motoric functions, loss of memory (short-term or long-term) and loss of sight or hearing. However, some people end up in a coma, never to wake up.

  4. 02. Brain injuries Brain injuries can occur even if there was no head trauma. Rapid deceleration and acceleration could cause whiplash, which could end up damaging the brain. This is why every injured individual has to seek medical attention right away, as some of these injuries may not show right away. Some symptoms may show up after a week, month or even years after the accident. But once they do, it is too late to seek treatment.

  5. 03. Back and Neck Injuries From minor neck pain to dislocated discs in the spine, these injuries can have life-changing consequences. These types of injuries often prevent the victim from going back to work or enjoying the same luxuries of life as before the accident. For those reasons, the compensation for such injuries is usually very high.

  6. 04. Bodily Injuries Every internal injury needs to be treated immediately. In some cases, the organs may require surgery, and the amount of hemorrhage could cause the person to die if not treated immediately. Other injuries involve: ● Kidney failure or bleeding ● Damage to the liver ● Pancreas and spleen injuries ● Broken ribs ● Penetrated lungs

  7. Other types of injuries from truck accidents include: Lacerations ● Broken bones ● Seat belt injuries ● Paralysis ● Wrongful death ●
