When a passenger vehicle is struck by a large truck weighing upwards of 10,000 pounds, the result is almost always catastrophic. The human body is just not designed to sustain the impact of a collision with big rig, tractor trailer, or 18 wheeler truck. Only small a percentage of people involved in truck accidents are lucky enough to survive, and those who do often suffer from a number of crippling and debilitating injuries, such as broken or fractured bones, brain damage, severe head trauma, paralysis, disfigurement, injuries to the back & spinal cord, organ damage, crushed limbs, and permanent disability.
