The large size and weight of semi-trailer trucks means that drivers and passengers of other vehicles are likely to be seriously injured in a collision. Some common injuries that can occur include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burn injuries, damage to internal organs, soft tissue injuries, dislocated joints, and severe bruises and contusions. When accidents occur at a high speed, or when a vehicle is struck by cargo that falls from a truck, the resulting injuries may lead to a person’s wrongful death.
