When cars or motorcycles have a collision with a truck, the results are usually lethal. Large trucks, semis, tractor trailers, or big rigs weigh tons. The disastrous effects of trucking accidents are usually caused by the heavy weight of the trucks. Trucks are involved in nearly 500,000 accidents a year in the U.S. Of those 500,000 trucking accidents, approximately 5,000 will result in death, and even more in catastrophic injuries. In most cases, the truck driver is able to escape from the accident unharmed. However, the passengers and drivers of other vehicles involved in the collision are not that lucky.
Trucking Accident Complications
Victims of trucking accidents can sustain life-altering injuries such as:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Burn injury
- Head injury
- Paralysis
- Loss of motor skills
As complications arise, trucking accident victims and their families find that continual medical attention from doctors, therapists, and medications is needed. This constant medical care leads to financial distress as bills quickly accumulate, leaving families and victims economically devastated.
Accident victims should not despair. If the trucking accident was caused by another person’s negligence, the victim has a right to seek monetary damages for medical bills, vehicular damage, time away from work, possible loss of income, and pain and suffering.
Truck drivers are required to abide by strict laws when driving. Trucking companies must also follow government mandated regulations in regard to the weight of their trucks, their drivers’ certifications, and the way their trucks are loaded. If the truck driver or the trucking company is at fault for the truck accident, issues can be closely examined by the victim and their legal representative to prove negligence.
If you have been involved in a trucking accident that was caused by another person’s negligence or recklessness, the most important thing you can do is speak with a skilled personal injury attorney.
