Sideswipe Truck Accidents

Blind spots are a common cause of sideswipe truck accidents, both in Manhattan and across the country. It can be relatively easy to get caught in one of the truck’s many blind spots — typically in the front, behind and on the sides of every 18-wheeler. Even though modern technology has helped to eliminate some of the issues and causes of these accidents — like radar and blind spot detection — truck crashes can and do still happen.

Common Truck Accident Injuries

• Spinal Cord Injuries – injuries to the muscles, ligaments, nerves, or bones surrounding the spinal cord can lead to temporary or permanent paralysis
• Burns – because of the size, trucks often carry a large amount of fuel in their tanks, resulting in explosions when they rupture during a crash
• Brain Injuries – either caused by impact or whiplash, a truck crash can result in life-changing brain issues
• Psychological Effects – in addition to physical trauma, a truck crash can result in long-lasting panic and even Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
