The most common injuries in truck accidents are traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and emotional trauma such as PTSD. Because commercial trucks are so much larger and heavier than passenger cars, these injuries are often severe and can require long-term care.
1. Traumatic Brain Injuries
The force of a truck collision often causes concussions and traumatic brain injuries, leading to memory loss, trouble focusing, and mood changes that may need long-term treatment.
2. Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord damage can cause partial or complete paralysis, requiring ongoing medical care, physical therapy, and major lifestyle changes.
3. Broken Bones
Truck crashes frequently cause multiple fractures that need surgery and long recoveries, limiting daily activities and the ability to work.
4. Emotional and Psychological Trauma
Many victims develop PTSD, anxiety, or depression that disrupts daily life and calls for counseling or therapy.
