Types of 18 Wheeler Accident Injuries in South Florida
If your vehicle is hit by a large truck that is anywhere from a couple thousand to over 70,000 pounds heavier than your car, you can expect serious injuries. Because of the nature of large vehicles, they are very susceptible to accidents if the driver is at all negligent. If the truck driver isn’t paying attention, he or she will not be able to stop as quickly as a regular car, they will not be able to maneuver out of the way quickly and they can even roll their vehicle over easily if they hit an object in the road or even a curb. Because of these and other reasons, it is so important that truck drivers maintain the utmost safety and vigilance at all times.
Unfortunately, not all truck drivers are able to keep this level of professional courtesy to their fellow drivers. If you have been injured due to a truck driver’s negligence, you could suffer some of the following common types of injuries resulting from these particular accidents:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Broken bones
- Contusions
- Lacerations
- Internal injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Neck injuries
- Dismemberment
