each year by truck accidents. Fully loaded commercial trucks weigh up to
80,000 pounds, which means they have the ability of crushing 3,000 pounds
of automobiles. Truck accidents cause serious personal
injuries that need attention. In certain cases, trucks carry heavy loads
of hazardous or flammable materials. During a truck accident, victims may
experience burns or respiratory injuries. Commercial trucks are so large
that when vehicles collide with one, there may be internal bleeding, broken
bones, spinal cord injury, scars or head trauma.
