The Most Common Types of Trucking Accidents & Resulting Injuries

Trucks are larger and heavier than most other vehicles on Oklahoma roadways, and pose many risks:

• Their sheer size and weight make them difficult to control even when minor problems occur on the road.
• They require significant expertise in loading cargo. Any imbalance can cause severe problems in maintaining control.
• Drivers need extensive training, and must remain alert and undistracted to ensure save operation on the road.

Whether a 18 wheeler truck strikes other vehicles, or if it collides with objects on the road, the damage and injuries are among the most serious possible when compared to all types of auto vehicle accidents. Because of the complexities associated with determining fault in these cases, Oklahoma truck accident lawyers need specialized skills to pursue all damages. The Oklahoma City trucking accident lawyers at Monty L. Cain, P.C. have the experience needed to ensure the best possible results for their clients in these complex cases.

Head-on collisions with other auto vehicles

When a head-on collision semi truck collides with a smaller vehicle on the road it is likely to result in serious injuries to the driver and passengers of the smaller vehicle. Injuries can include the following:

• Traumatic injury to the head and brain
• Neck and spinal injury, often resulting in full or partial paralysis
• Crushed, often irreparable bones
• Severe psychological damage, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or an unrelenting fear of auto vehicles

Without the support of experienced Oklahoma City trucking accident lawyers, victims are unlikely to recover full restitution for all losses associated with severe injuries. In fact, a skilled truck accident lawyer is likely to understand the full extent of past, present, and future losses better than injury victims. When you need an experienced trucking accident lawyer in Oklahoma City, Monty L. Cain, P.C. has the legal and regulatory experience you need to ensure the best possible results for your case.

Rear-end collisions

When a tractor trailer strikes a smaller vehicle from the rear, the driver and passengers can potentially sustain all the injuries typical of a head-on collision. Severe neck and spine injuries are particularly common, due to the wrenching motion caused by the rear-end impact. The luckiest victims experience whiplash injuries, which seldom result in permanent disability. But, whiplash injuries can be difficult to prove—it takes the experience of skilled Oklahoma City trucking accident lawyers to ensure victims have the right evidence to prove their cases in court. Monty L. Cain, P.C. has experience in these difficult cases.

Side-swipe accidents

A heavy truck that strikes a small vehicle from the side is likely to result in more serious injuries than if both vehicles were similar in size. Depending on the angle of the collision, victims can incur anything from a mild to severe side-to-side wrenching motion, again affecting the necks and spines of the accident victims.
