Several truck accidents occur due to their sheer size and weight, the collision results can be brutal or even fatal. A truck accident lawyer from Robert J. DeBry & Associates has the required experience and knowledge to help you recover fair compensation in case of an injury from an accident.
A collision between a truck and any other smaller vehicle could prove fatal. A trucking accident can lead to any of the following injuries:
- Back and neck injuries
- Fractured and broken bones
- Lacerations and bruises
- Spinal injuries
- Whiplash
- Severe burns
- Head and brain injuries
There are ways for smaller vehicles involved in an accident with a truck to avoid severe injuries. Cars should always keep a decent distance between themselves and the vehicle. So whether the other vehicle is driving before or after the truck, it should always leave more space than it would for other vehicles.
Other vehicles should also avoid driving in the truck's blind spot areas as the truck can easily knock the other car unknowingly.
Avoid distracted driving, such as using a cellphone while driving, as this increases the chances of an accident occurring. Obey all the road regulations and practice safe driving.
Other vehicle drivers should beware of where they park their vehicles, especially on highways. This can save their car from being crashed into by a large truck. It's essential to know the parking rules and where one can and cannot park.
In case of a truck or car accident, a good truck accident lawyer can help you through the legal procedures of an accident. Robert J.DeBry and Associates will assist anyone who finds themselves unfairly compensated after an injury or accident.
