The type and severity of injuries sustained in a semi-truck intersection accident will depend on many factors. One thing that should be noted is that the driver of the big rig typically sustains minor or no injuries at all. This is because they are protected in the cab of the truck, whereas smaller vehicles are at the same height as many dangerous parts of the truck. Some common injuries for the occupants of small vehicles include:
Broken bones
Head trauma, including TBI, skulls fractures, and more
Lacerations and bruises
Spinal cord injuries
Injuries of both the upper and lower extremities, including loss of use
