Side Impact/T-Bone Accidents

Common at intersections and when entering a highway from an on-ramp, a side impact, or T-bone accident can happen at a number of angles. They can be extremely hazardous not only to the driver, but to all occupants, since there is still very little protection from side-impact crashes, despite current vehicle technology and safety standards. When it comes to T-bone accidents with trucks, they can be especially destructive, since trucks can weigh tens of thousands of pounds — significantly more than a typical sedan or other medium-sized car. Our Queens truck accident attorneys know firsthand how dangerous these crashes can be, which is why we’re dedicated to achieving results for our clients and holding those responsible for their actions accountable for the damage they caused.

FedEx, Postal Service, and UPS Accidents

While they aren’t always quite as large as 18-wheelers, delivery trucks from FedEx, the US Postal Service, and UPS can also cause substantial damage and harm to motorists if an accident occurs. Every single day, these fleets of large vehicles roam potentially unfamiliar highways and streets in order to deliver their packages. This massive volume of deliveries and mileage can lead to accidents, especially in and around Queens. If you’ve been involved in a truck accident with one of these or other delivery companies or agencies, reach out to the attorneys at The Barnes Firm to represent your case.

Common Truck Accident Injuries

Head Injuries

These types of injuries from a truck crash can range from anything to a concussion to a life-altering and permanent condition — and everything in between. No matter the perceived severity, all head traumas should be treated with the utmost caution. And let’s not forget — many head injuries can take hours or days to manifest themselves, and often present themselves as nausea, vision problems, and confusion.

Neck/Back Injuries

Not only can an accident with a truck cause whiplash, but it can also result in other severe spinal injuries, including damage to your discs, dislocation, and other issues — many of which can be long term.

Internal Injuries

Your liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, and other internal organs are also at risk for damage when you’re involved in a truck accident. These types of injuries can also have delayed symptoms, which is why it’s imperative to consult with a doctor right away, even if you don’t feel any immediate discomfort.
