Delivery trucks may not be as large as a multi-ton big rig, but they are still larger than the average passenger car. Collisions between a delivery truck and a motor vehicle driver, pedestrian, or cyclist can result in very serious injuries, such as the following.
Broken bones
Organ damage
Internal bleeding
Traumatic brain injuries
Soft tissue injuries, like whiplash
Spinal cord injuries, including paralysis
Burn injuries and scarring
These injuries can lead to significant hardship, from thousands of dollars in medical bills to weeks of lost wages and severe pain and suffering. Victims of delivery truck accidents have the right to file an insurance claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver, his or her employer, and any other liable party responsible for the collision.
