Risks for Construction Trucks
At any given time, many of the roads in the United States are under construction. That means that many construction vehicles will be operating and working on the highways. With construction zones, restricted speeds, and large construction vehicles sometimes operating within inches of flowing traffic, accidents with construction trucks are bound to happen.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a common injury in car accidents is whiplash, the violently sudden movement of the head snapped back and forth. In addition to whiplash, there are some other construction truck accident injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries, or the milder version known as a concussion
- Spinal cord injuries
- Upper body injuries, such as broken ribs and muscles strains
- Cuts, scrapes, and bruises to any place on the body
- Lower body injuries, such as broken legs and knee injuries
- Disfigurement and dismemberment
In addition to these injuries, most people suffer for a while with flashbacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, or emotional suffering. If you need help, call the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine at 1-800-747-3733 for a free consultation.
