Common Types of Injuries from Truck Accidents

Due to the sheer size of a commercial vehicle, big rig truck, or 18-wheeler, any collision involving a smaller sedan, light-weight truck, motorcycle, or pedestrian can result in significant property damage and catastrophic personal injuries. It comes as no surprise to learn that an estimated one out of every eight traffic fatalities involves a collision with a truck.

Common types of injuries after a truck accident may include:

Head, back, and neck injuries
Brain injury and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Spinal cord injury
Paralysis, paraplegia, or quadriplegia
Burn injuries
Airbag injuries
Soft tissue damage
Scrapes, bruises, lesions, and broken bones

The severe nature of these types of injuries can result in costly medical expenses. No one ever expects to be the victim of an accident, so sometimes the massive cost of emergency medical treatment can catch an innocent victim off-guard. With the help of a seasoned litigator, you could file a claim against a negligent truck driver, trucking company, truck manufacturer, or other liable party that may have caused the extent of your injuries.

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Georgia?

In Georgia, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a truck accident is typically two years from the date of the accident.
