Truck Accident Injuries — What Victims Need to Know

Why truck cases are different
Tractors and trailers carry higher policy limits but also complex liability (driver, carrier, broker, loader). Federal FMCSA rules on hours, maintenance, and logging may apply.
Common injuries
- Traumatic brain injury and concussions
- Spinal cord and neck/back injuries
- Crush injuries and amputations
- Wrongful death claims for families
Evidence to preserve quickly
- Dashcam and intersection video
- Driver logbooks and ELD data
- Black box / ECM downloads
- Cargo loading records
Insurance layers
You may deal with the motor carrier, cab insurer, trailer insurer, and your own UM/UIM. Early legal help can send spoliation letters so data is not destroyed.
