Emeryville Truck Accident Injuries
Large commercial trucks have the potential to produce devastating results when involved in an accident with a passenger car, motorcycle, pedestrian or bicycle. A commercial truck’s size, weight, length and power are simply no match for smaller vehicles and the human body, which is why 98 percent of all truck accident fatalities are the individual hit by a truck. Those who survive a commercial truck crash frequently sustain various types of catastrophic injuries, such as spinal cord injuries, head injuries, internal organ injuries, severed limb injuries, and brain injuries.
