Damages in a Truck Accident

Burn Injuries
The passengers of regular vehicles die or suffer
severe injuries when accidents involving
standard cars and trucks happen. Standard vehicle
occupants suffer extensive injuries because of
the difference in weight and size between the
trucks and passenger vehicles. You can only file
a claim after a truck accident if you provide
sufficient evidence that the injuries you
suffered resulted from the accident. You may
suffer physical injuries that could require you
to receive a particular medication. The physical
injuries you may suffer include the following.
The Common Causes Of A Truck Accident Often, a
truck carrying hazardous materials like fuel
could explode, leading to fire when involved in
an accident with a passenger vehicle. You could
suffer disfigurement and permanent scarring if
you sustain burns in a truck accident. If you are
unable to escape immediately after the accident
because of being trapped in the vehicle, your
injuries could worsen. You may also sustain
friction burns after scraping on the road or the
vehicle's interior. More complications like
infections could arise if the burns are not well
treated. At times, doctors prescribe surgery on
the victims because it is hard to treat
burns. Broken Bones You may suffer broken bones
in different parts of your body after your
involvement in a truck accident. You could also
suffer broken bones due to the accidents impact
if you attempt to brace yourself against a
vehicle part before the accident. You may suffer
broken bones on the ribs, arms, wrist, pelvis,
and legs. Often, broken bones are expensive to
treat because they require surgery. You will
have pins, rods, and screws inserted in your body
to hold together your broken bones. You need
immediate treatment after suffering broken bones
in a truck accident since it could lead to
internal bleeding. Brain Injury At times, when
you suffer a brain injury due to a truck
accident, you may experience several life-
altering consequences. Physiological damage,
impairment of certain functions, emotional
damage, and physical damage are some of the
consequences you may experience. The other brain
injury consequences you may experience include
changes in senses, loss of vision, ringing in
the ears, and loss of balance. Few victims suffer
seizures from time to time. Larger percentages
of victims who suffer a brain injury due to truck
accidents become slow speakers, slow thinkers,
and often confused. A small percentage may
experience behavioral and mood changes.
Frequently, brain systems responsible for
social-emotional lives are destroyed, and that
alters the victim's personality. Therefore, brain
injury leads to cognitive process
problems. Additionally, other victims may be more
uninhabited, have mood swings, withdraw from
their previous social circles, and become more
irritable.
Spinal Cord Paralysis

Back Injuries
You may suffer partial or complete paralysis if
your spinal cord suffers severe injuries in a
truck accident. You may suffer permanent spinal
cord paralysis if the accident causes severe
injuries on specific parts of the spinal cord.
For instance, if you crash on a fixed object
during a truck accident, you may suffer
detrimental spinal injuries.
Because of the truck's size, you may suffer
extensive back injuries in a truck accident, even
if a truck hits you at a low speed. The accident
may cause spinal compression due to the impact.
The spinal compression could also put pressure
on the vertebrae leading to lower back pains and
soreness. Muscle Injuries Generally, your body
muscles could suffer injuries in a truck
accident. An average human being usually has
more than 600 muscles on his or her body. The
accident could cause large muscle tears,
detrimental muscle damage, or simple sprains.
However, recovery from muscle injuries differs
from one person to another. A young person who
suffers from muscle injuries in a truck accident
could heal faster while an older person might
take longer. Seat Belt Injuries The seat belt
you wear can cause severe injury if you are a
regular vehicle driver, and you are involved in
a truck accident. You could sustain whiplash
injury even if the seat belts are meant to
cushion you. Rib and Torso Injuries You may
suffer severe rib and torso injuries after your
involvement in a truck accident. Vital body
organs in every human being are cushioned by the
ribcage, composed of 24 ribs. You may suffer a
rib fracture if you sustain blunt force chest
trauma. You may also have breathing problems if
you suffer rib and torso injuries. Therefore,
seek compensation if you sustain rib and torso
injuries due to another persons negligence in a
truck accident. Internal Injuries The organs
that could be damaged after your involvement in a
truck accident include the bladder, kidney,
pancreas, spleen, and liver. This could lead to
internal bleeding, which is hard to detect to
treat, and often victims die. Internal injuries
are more difficult to spot than external
injuries, and most victims die because they
discover the injury late.
