Long Tem Physical Health Effects of a Trucking Accident

Long-term injuries from truck accidents can vary dramatically from person to person and are dependent on the specifics of a particular collision. If you’ve recently suffered from a serious semi-tuck accident in San Antonio TX, and are experiencing any of the following, however, you should contact a local attorney as soon as possible. The time limit to pursue a personal injury case in Texas, known as the statute of limitations, is two years after the date of the accident.

Common long-term physical effects may include but are not limited to:

  • Chronic pain in the back or neck
  • Limited mobility
  • Paralysis
  • Loss of limb function
  • Internal bleeding or organ damage
  • Amputation
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Nerve damage that can lead to numbness
  • Vision issues

If the negligence of the truck driver or their employing company or agency caused your accident, you deserve compensation to account for your injuries. Need help determining what exactly caused your accident? Call the San Antonio 18 wheeler accident lawyers at Carabin Shaw to discuss your case.

Long Term Mental Health Effects of a Trucking Accident

The mental impacts of a severe accident can be as profound as some of the physical effects. While sometimes more challenging to quantify, these damages may be considered for compensation. Speak with an attorney in San Antonio to learn more.

Common long-term mental effects may include but are not limited to:

  • Effects to memory
  • Issues with cognition and/or emotional regulation
  • Sleep disorders
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Panic disorder
  • Phobias

Negligent actions or inactions from a truck driver (speeding, distracted driving, hours of service violations, etc.) or the trucking company (poor vehicle maintenance, improper loading, improper training) can have devastating consequences. Victims of such accidents, whether drivers of another vehicle, passengers, pedestrians, bikers, etc., deserve full and fair compensation for the full range of their injuries. Seeking professional counsel from a trusted San Antonio personal injury attorney is crucial to ensure your rights are protected and that you are awarded the maximum compensation possible.
