When a truck collides with a motorcycle, the chances of survival for the cyclist are slim to none. For this reason, you should seek out the advice of an experienced truck accident lawyer if you are injured (or a loved one is killed) in a truck accident.

Amputation and decapitation

Traumatic Brain Injuries in Truck Accidents

Traumatic brain injuries can be minor such as a concussion with no permanent side effects or as serious as one that would leave the victim permanently brain damaged. TBI exhibits a vast array of symptoms including:

Trouble with concentration and/or attention
Memory problems
Vision problems
Speech problems
Trouble sleeping
Confusion
Headache
Behavior/mood changes

Spinal Cord Injuries in Truck Accidents

Spinal cord injury can result in full or partial paralysis. The severity of a spinal cord injury is determined by sense of touch, pinprick sensations and neurologic levels when the victim is tested. The ability to move and the strength of the muscles are also taken into consideration when establishing the extent of the spinal cord injury.
