Truck Accident Injuries

Due to their colossal size, commercial trucks can cause large-scale accidents and serious injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered any of the following injuries in a truck crash, you likely have grounds for a case against the at-fault party:

Severe burns
Cuts and lacerations
Broken or fractured bones
Head and brain trauma
Back and spine injuries
Paralysis, partial or full
Loss of limbs or part of a limb
Neck injuries, including whiplash

As mentioned, it is also common for a truck accident to result in death. If you have been bereft by another’s negligence, you may be compensated for funeral and burial expenses, pain and suffering, and other losses related to your bereavement, through a wrongful death case.

What Causes Trucking Accidents?

Some of the most common causes of truck accidents include:

Speeding
Alcohol and drug use
Fatigue/overwork
Overloaded trucks
Defective truck parts
Improper truck maintenance

Each of these causes can be traced back to negligence, either on the part of the trucking company or one of its employees. Other times, passenger car drivers or truck parts manufacturers may be found negligent and, therefore, liable for a crash. It all depends on whose actions caused the accident.
