We live in a world where highways are filled with
commercial trucks, which constantly cruise down
the lane, back and forth. Since there are way too
many trucks on the road, it is only logical that
there will be a lot of accidents involving
trucks. Did you know that in 2016, 70 of those
who were killed in truck accidents were occupants
of traditional passenger vehicles? Yes, you read
that correctly no the truckers, but other
people driving regular vehicles.

Yes, you read that correctly no the truckers,
but other people driving regular vehicles. It is
fair to assume that if you get involved in a
truck accident, you will most likely end up with
a serious injury if you are lucky to survive.
Here are the most common injuries which may
occur from a truck accident.

The force of a truck crash is so strong, that
it may easily pierce one of your internal organs,
or even cause internal bleeding. Most of the
time, it is the abdomen that gets pierced.

Crush Injuries
If one of your body parts is squeezed between two
or more objects, you have to stay put and wait
for help. Trying to get loose will only damage
your injured body part even further, and may
result in severed blood vessels or even worse.

be dealt with extreme care and professional help
Fractures
Compressed Nerves
Rhabdomyolysis

Neck and Head Injuries
Upon impact, it is common that you end up with a
head or a neck injury. These types of injuries
always require advanced medical care, as you may
have damaged more than it meets the eye. Head
injuries are very sensitive and may lead to
potentially fatal outcomes. This is why you
should talk to your doctor, schedule a CT scan
and check your whole body.
