Common Injuries After Commercial Vehicle Accidents

The sheer size and weight of commercial trucks and vans often mean serious injuries in an accident. Some of the most common injuries seen in truck accident cases include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal organ damage
  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Burns and lacerations
  • Amputations
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD

These severe injuries can have long-lasting effects on victims’ lives, often requiring extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

What to Do After a Delivery Vehicle Accident

Here’s what you should do if you’ve been involved in a delivery vehicle accident:

  1. Ensure your safety: Move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries.
  2. Call 911: Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed.
  3. Document the scene: Take photos of vehicle damage, the scene of the accident, and any visible injuries.
  4. Gather information: Collect contact details from all parties involved, including witnesses.
  5. Seek medical attention: Even if you feel fine, get checked by a medical professional — some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
  6. Report to your insurance company: Inform your insurer about the accident, but avoid giving detailed statements until you've spoken with a lawyer.
  7. Contact a New City truck accident lawyer: Reach out to an experienced truck accident attorney who can protect your rights and guide you through the legal process.

Remember, the actions you take immediately following a delivery vehicle accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation.

However, claims against government entities may have a much shorter filing deadline — often as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim. Furthermore, if the accident resulted in a fatality, the family has two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
