Truck accidents can cause catastrophic injuries due to the massive size and weight of commercial vehicles. These collisions often lead to devastating consequences for victims and their families. At Trial Lawyers of Wisconsin, we specialize in advocating for victims of truck accidents, ensuring they receive the compensation and justice they deserve. Our experienced attorneys understand the complexities of truck accident cases and are committed to holding negligent parties accountable.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Truck accidents are rarely straightforward and often involve a combination of factors. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Driver Fatigue: Truck drivers frequently face long hours and tight delivery deadlines, leading to exhaustion. Fatigued drivers are more likely to make mistakes, such as missing road signs or failing to notice other vehicles.
  • Improper Maintenance: Commercial trucks require rigorous maintenance to ensure safety on the road. Neglecting this responsibility can lead to brake failures, tire blowouts, or other mechanical issues that cause accidents.
  • Overloaded Cargo: Trucks carrying excessive weight or improperly secured loads become harder to control, increasing the risk of rollovers or jackknife accidents.
  • Distracted Driving: Engaging in activities like texting, eating, or using a GPS while driving significantly reduces a truck driver’s reaction time.
  • Speeding: Due to their large size, trucks require more distance to come to a complete stop. Speeding increases the likelihood of severe collisions and makes accidents more catastrophic.
  • Adverse Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and ice can make roadways slippery, further reducing a truck’s ability to stop or maneuver.
  • Driving Under the Influence: Alcohol or drug use impairs a driver’s judgment and reaction time, endangering everyone on the road.

Common Injuries in Truck Accidents

Victims of truck accidents often sustain life-changing injuries that require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Some of the most common injuries include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Severe head trauma can result in cognitive impairments, memory loss, and long-term disabilities. Victims may require years of therapy to regain basic functions.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Damage to the spinal cord can cause partial or complete paralysis, severely affecting mobility and independence. Long-term care and specialized equipment may be necessary.

Broken Bones

Truck accidents often lead to multiple fractures that necessitate surgeries, physical therapy, and months of recovery.

Internal Injuries

Damage to vital organs or internal bleeding may not be immediately apparent but can become life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Burn Injuries

Fuel tank ruptures during a crash can cause fires or explosions, leading to severe burns that require skin grafts and extensive medical care.

Amputations

The sheer force of a truck collision can result in the loss of limbs, profoundly impacting a victim’s quality of life and ability to work.

The Emotional and Financial Impact of Truck Accidents

The aftermath of a truck accident is often overwhelming, leaving victims to cope with both emotional trauma and financial strain.

Emotional Trauma

Survivors frequently experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. These emotional scars can persist for years and may require professional counseling or therapy.

Medical Expenses

The cost of medical treatment for truck accident injuries can be astronomical. Victims often face mounting bills for surgeries, hospital stays, medications, physical therapy, and long-term care.

Lost Wages

Truck accident victims may be unable to return to work during their recovery, leading to a loss of income. For some, permanent disabilities may prevent them from working altogether, further straining their financial resources.

Property Damage

Repairing or replacing vehicles damaged in a truck accident adds another layer of financial burden. Insurance disputes often complicate the process, leaving victims frustrated.

Impact on Family

Families of truck accident victims frequently bear the emotional and financial burden of supporting their loved ones during recovery. This strain can affect relationships and overall well-being.
