Traffic accidents are often serious in nature, and trucking accidents in Florida are even worse – producing serious and sometimes fatal injuries. Serious trucking accidents, such as head-on collisions, rear-end crashes, rollovers, and jackknife accidents, can cause the following serious injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Broken ribs
- Internal injuries
- Knee injuries and ligament tears
- ACL and PCL injury
- MCL and LCL injury
- Meniscus injury
- Femur fracture
- Tibia fracture
- Herniated disc injury
- Face injuries

- Head trauma
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Paralysis
- Loss of limbs

Most of the above mentioned injuries cause victims of truck accidents significant pain, temporary or permanent immobility, and an inability to work, drive, cook, clean, or care for themselves. This time in a person’s life can be frustrating and depressing – not to mention painful. Most of these injuries require a trip to the ER, doctor’s visits, surgery, physical therapy, medication, and more.
