Truck-Crash-Caused Injuries
Tragically, our clients have suffered from some of the worst types of truck related injuries. Many of these injuries require long stays in the hospital, weeks or months of missed work, months of physical rehabilitation, and incredibly high medical bills. Some victims of truck crashes are stuck with their injuries for the rest of their lives, and may require career changes due to their degree of disability.
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)—Concussions are a mild form of traumatic brain injury that most people are familiar with. However, most serious forms of TBIs include coup contrecoup injury, intracranial hemorrhage, secondary injury, diffuse axonal injury, and brain penetrations.
- Spinal cord injury—The spinal cord runs along the vertebrae from the base of your skull to your tailbone, and enables communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Any damage to the spinal cord causes immense pain, loss of movement, weakness, and potentially permanent paralysis if the spinal cord damage is complete.
- Multiple fractures—Breaking one bone is painful and debilitating on its own. Many truck crash survivors suffer multiple fractures, sometimes all throughout their bodies and sometimes to the same body part—such as the femur—that requires piercing back together half a dozen or more fractured or splintered bones over the course of multiple surgeries.
- Internal organ damage—The spleen, kidneys, lungs, and other organs sometimes suffer moderate to catastrophic injury from the blunt force trauma of a truck crash. Fractured ribs may even pierce the lungs, causing pneumothorax and potentially death.
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement—Lacerations from broken glass and ripped-apart metal are sometimes unavoidable in large truck crashes. Unlike the movies where huge lacerations are quickly covered up and forgotten about, in the real world deep lacerations are life threatening, and usually cause permanent scarring. These types of injuries are even harder to bear when the scarring or disfigurement is to the face.
