Riverside County Truck Accident Injuries

According to statistics, the occupants of a passenger vehicle struck by a commercial truck are more likely to sustain a severe injury than the driver of the truck. A 4,000 pound vehicle is simply no match for a commercial truck weighing anywhere between 20,000 to 80,000 pounds. Truck accident victims can suffer from a serious head injury, spinal cord injury or burn injury. Head injuries, which is a term used to describe injury to any part of the brain, skull or scalp, can leave victims with a mild, moderate or severe brain injury. Spinal cord injuries often result in partial or complete loss of movement and feeling at the injury site. Many spinal cord injury survivors are rendered paraplegics or quadriplegics. Severe burn injuries may require excision and skin grafting, which is a procedure used to transplant skin from one area of the body to the affected area. Severe burn injury survivors can experience physical disfigurement and permanent disabilities as a result of their injury.
