Common Truck Accident Injuries

Particularly violent impacts with large moving objects like semi-trucks, tractor-trailers and coal trucks often cause life-changing injuries:

Concussions
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal injuries (including paralysis)
Broken bones
Whiplash (neck injuries)
Muscle, ligament and joint injuries
Burns
Cuts
Organ damage
Internal bleeding
Psychological trauma (PTSD)

Injuries like these can leave you with high costs for hospitalization, doctors’ care, and physical therapy.

You also may miss work and income.

A personal injury claim after a truck accident can secure compensation for your medical care, funding for future care and rehabilitation you’ll need, payment for lost paychecks, compensation for the mental anguish the crash has put you through, and more.

Truck Accident Injury Attorneys Help with Your Medical Evidence

Your medical records confirm that your injuries are due to the crash, and that they’re severe enough and disruptive enough to call for compensation.

Save copies of medical bills and records, including:

Reports from exams with doctors
Details of injury locations on your body matching the way the collision happened
Records confirming you didn’t have this damage to your health before the wreck
Documentation of the treatments doctors prescribe
Lists of prescription medications you’re given
Doctors’ reports on the prognosis for your recovery
X-rays
MRIs
Hospitalization records
Surgery records
Mental health treatment records

Having anxiety, depression, PTSD and other mental health struggles after such a gut-wrenching event is understandable—and potentially part of your truck accident injury claim.

Courts may award compensation not just for your visible, physical injuries but for the pain and suffering you’re enduring.

But you’ve got a lot more to deal with right now than keeping track of medical records.
