Broken Bones
The force from a loaded semi-truck crash can cause significant damage to personal vehicles and can result in broken bones to occupants.
Back and Neck Injury
A collision involving a commercial truck can result in sudden impact to vehicles. Injuries, such as herniated discs are common.
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) from trucking accidents can leave a person with life-long damages requiring future medical treatment and lost income.
Joint Injury
Injuries to hips, knees, and shoulders are common and may require medical care such as orthopedic surgery to help the individual recover fully.
Wrongful Death
Sadly, many people lose their lives in truck accidents. In these situations, the family of the deceased can recover funds to provide for the loss of emotional and financial support.

- Medical bills- for both past and future care
- Lost income
- Damage to your vehicle
- Cost of future attendant care if needed
Examples of non-economic damages would include:
- Pain and suffering
