Common Truck Accident Injuries

In a collision involving a large commercial truck and a smaller passenger vehicle, the size and weight disparity often lead to severe, and sometimes catastrophic, injuries, including (but not limited to):

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage that can cause cognitive and physical impairment or disability.
Spinal Cord Injuries: A collision can cause damage to the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete paralysis.
Broken Bones: The force of a truck accident can break or fracture bones in the body, requiring extensive treatment and long-term recovery.
Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs, such as the lungs, heart, kidneys, or liver, can be life-threatening. These injuries often require immediate medical attention.
Burns: If a truck carries hazardous material or the collision leads to a fire, victims may suffer from mild to severe burns.
Psychological Trauma: A truck accident can cause severe emotional distress, including conditions like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

This list is not exhaustive, and every accident is unique. However, these are some of the most common injuries sustained in truck accidents. The Ruth Law Team is well-versed in handling cases involving such injuries.

Potential Damages Available to Sarasota Truck Accident Victims

In the aftermath of a truck accident, victims often face mounting medical bills, loss of income, and other significant expenses. When you search for legal options, you’re taking a stand for your rights, asserting that you should not be responsible for these financial burdens resulting from an accident that was not your fault. Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be eligible to receive compensation for a variety of damages:

Medical Expenses: This includes costs for emergency treatment, surgeries, hospital stays, medication, rehabilitation therapy, and any future medical needs related to the accident.
Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, temporarily or permanently, you could receive compensation for the income you’ve lost.
Pain and Suffering: This relates to the physical pain and mental anguish you’ve endured due to the accident.
Property Damage: If your vehicle or other personal property was damaged in the accident, you may be compensated for the repair or replacement costs.
Emotional Distress: Accidents often result in psychological impacts such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, for which compensation can be claimed.
Wrongful Death: In the tragic event that a truck accident results in the loss of a loved one, family members may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional suffering.

Every case is unique, and the potential compensation depends on your circumstances. At The Ruth Law Team, our dedicated Florida injury attorneys have the experience and knowledge to handle these complex cases and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

In the difficult times following a truck accident, knowing your rights and having an experienced legal team on your side can make a significant difference. Reach out to The Ruth Law Team today. We stand ready to assist you, fight for your rights, and walk with you toward justice.

Next Steps After a Truck Accident

Navigating the aftermath of a trucking accident can be overwhelming. During these chaotic times, knowing the right steps to take to protect your rights and interests is crucial. Here are some key steps you should follow:

Prioritize Your Safety: Your priority is to ensure the safety of yourself and others. If possible and safe, move out of the traffic to a secure location.
Call Emergency Services: Dial 911 immediately to report the accident. Medical professionals can assess and treat any injuries, and police can document the accident scene.
Document the Accident Scene: If you are physically able, gather as much information as possible. This can include taking photos, noting the location, time, and weather conditions, and getting contact information from any witnesses.
Seek Medical Attention: Even if you don’t immediately feel injured, it’s crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Some injuries may not be apparent immediately after an accident.
Contact a Sarasota Truck Accident Attorney: Before speaking with insurance companies, it’s important to consult with an experienced truck accident attorney. The Ruth Law Team can provide essential guidance and help protect your interests.
Preserve Evidence: Maintain documentation of which doctors you see, receipts of expenses incurred due to the accident, and any correspondence related to the incident.

Should I Talk to the Insurance Company?

If you’re involved in a truck accident, it’s essential to exercise caution when dealing with insurance companies.

Therefore, it’s strongly recommended that you consult with The Ruth Law Team before engaging in any conversations with insurance companies. We’re here to protect your rights and interests, ensuring your voice is heard and your claim is given the fair consideration it deserves.
