Truck accidents can cause some of the most serious injuries, leading to disabilities, amputation or even death. If you or a dear one has been injured in a truck accident, ensure that you get emergency medical treatment immediately. Catastrophic accidents could result in long-term hospitalization, lengthy periods of unemployment and loss of income, enormous pain and suffering and implications for social and psychological health.
