The Dangers of Truck Accidents

Trucks are very large, heavy-duty vehicles that weigh significantly more than the average passenger car. As a result, collisions between a truck and a motor vehicle can lead to serious injuries and devastating fatalities.

Some of the most common injuries in Oregon truck accidents include the following.

• Spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain damage
• Burn injuries and scarring
• Broken bones and sprains
• Cuts and bruising
• Internal organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Facial injuries

Many of these accidents are preventable, caused by the negligence of the truck driver or his or her employer. For example, a driver may be drunk driving or under the influence of drugs, operating their vehicles while drowsy, or driving over the speed limit. A truck company may fail to properly maintain its vehicles, hire inexperienced or unlicensed drivers, or improperly load cargo.
