Introduction

3. Traumatic brain injuries happen when blunt force causes an impact to
the head. The injury can be closed with flying debris piercing into the
skull causing an open head injury. Some of them are mild with mere
nausea, headaches, and confusion. Severe ones include internal
bleeding, personality alteration, loss of consciousness and long-term
cognitive impairment.
Head Injuries

4. Injuries include a herniated disc, complete spinal compression, and
pinched nerve. These injuries are painful and immobilize the victim for
a long time. Soft tissue bruises of the upper back and neck involve
discomfort and swelling.
Back and neck wounds

5. Though the injury may not be apparent, yet the damage can
influence the whole life. Post-accident MRI can disclose the injury
and the extent of the spinal cord damage after the truck wreck.
Paralysis and spinal cord injury

6. Multiple fractures are common in a truck accident due to the massive
size and weight of the vehicle. Crushed clavicles, shattered femurs, etc.
need many weeks of healing and also physical therapy to get back to
complete fitness.

truck accident alters the life forever. Commercial truck accidents
