Common Injuries from 18-Wheeler Accidents

The impact from a collision with an 18-wheeler can cause severe head injuries, leading to concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries. These injuries often result in long-term cognitive and physical impairments.

The force of a truck accident can cause damage to the spinal cord, resulting in partial or complete paralysis. Such injuries can drastically alter the victim’s quality of life and require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Internal injuries, such as damage to organs, internal bleeding, and ruptured blood vessels, are common in severe truck accidents. These injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention

5. Whiplash and Neck Injuries

The sudden impact of a truck accident can cause whiplash and other neck injuries, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility.

6. Burns and Lacerations

In accidents where the truck catches fire or causes a vehicle to ignite, victims can suffer from severe burns and lacerations. These injuries often result in permanent scarring and require extensive medical treatment.
