People in passenger vehicles, workers, pedestrians, even the truck drivers themselves are all at risk of serious injuries in a crash. Among those catastrophic injuries are:

• Whiplash. Whiplash gets a bad “rep,” but it’s a very serious – and often long-term – injury. The soft tissues of your neck and shoulders can stretch, tear or bruise, making it painful to move your head or shoulders. You may need therapy or multiple medical treatments to heal. Some victims live with the pain forever.
• Traumatic brain injury. Caused by a blow to the head or a penetrating object, TBIs can last for weeks or years. Depending on the severity of the injury, a victim may end up with permanent brain damage or in a coma. These types of injuries can take years to heal, and may necessitate long-term or lifelong care.
• Paralysis. If your spinal cord or column is bruised, broken or fractured, you may end up paralyzed. Some people will be able to regain mobility with therapy; others may find themselves wheelchair bound forever. This type of injury will require lifelong medical treatments, and you may need to completely redesign your home: wheelchair ramps and assistive technologies are expensive to install and maintain.
• Loss of limb. If you are crushed in a truck accident, you could lose your arms or legs. This means years of painful therapy and prosthetics. Since the more technologically advanced prosthetics are not necessarily covered by most insurance plans, you could find yourself in need of a caregiver. This is one of the many reasons why working with an experienced Anderson truck crash lawyer is so crucial when it comes to obtaining compensation.
• Wrongful death. Under the most tragic circumstances, a commercial truck accident can lead to the death of your loved one. While no amount of money will ever bring your family member back, we know there added financial stresses of paying for funeral and burial costs. We fight on your behalf, so you and your family can take the time you need to grieve properly.
