Common Truck Accident Injuries

Commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, which is significantly heavier than the average passenger car. As a result, truck accidents can be very serious and result in painful, sometimes life-threatening injuries. Some of the most common truck accident injuries include the following.

• Spinal cord damage
• Traumatic brain injury
• Broken bones and fractures
• Organ damage and internal bleeding
• Neck and back injuries, such as whiplash
• Cuts, bruises, and scrapes

If you are involved in a Mount Juliet truck accident, always seek medical treatment for your personal injury, even if you do not feel hurt. Shock may be numbing your pain, or you may have internal damage that you do not know about.

Who Is Liable for a Tennessee Truck Accident?

Tennessee is a fault accident state, meaning that at-fault parties are financially responsible for their victims’ losses. You can recover compensation for these losses by filing an insurance claim or lawsuit. When it comes to truck accidents, however, multiple parties may be liable.

• The truck driver: Driver negligence, such as fatigued driving or driving under the influence, often contributes to a collision. If your accident was caused by the truck driver’s actions, you can file an insurance claim or lawsuit against him or her.
• The trucking company: If the driver is an employee of a trucking company and his or her negligence caused the accident, you can name the employer in your claim as well. You will likely need to file a claim with the company’s insurance company in this situation. If the trucking company’s negligence caused the accident, such as hiring unlicensed drivers or failing to perform maintenance, you can file a claim against the company.
• A manufacturer: If the accident was caused by a defective vehicle or vehicle component, you can file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. You can also name the distributor, retailer, and other parties along the distribution chain.

To recover compensation in a Tennessee truck accident claim, you will need to prove that the at-fault party’s negligence caused the collision and your losses. Your personal injury attorney from The Law Offices of Christopher Eads, PLLC can conduct a full investigation into your collision and help you prove the at-fault party’s liability.
