These days more commercial trucks, big rigs, semi-trucks, 18 wheelers, and other trucks are frequent travelers on roads. This is mostly due to the growth this industry has experienced over the past few decades. Truck drivers can find themselves working long hours over huge distances, leading to a serious fatigue problem or even sleep deprivation. Even worse is the scheduled deadlines they are obliged to meet. Combined with lack of proper sleep, and other dangerous factors, devastating consequences await them. The force of impact created by these trucks can be devastating.

Truck accidents are often the cause of severe and life-threatening injuries, and 200,000 Americans are injured each year in truck accidents. Spinal injuries, internal bleeding, road rash, amputations, broken bones, and other critical injuries are some of the common types of injuries. It is crucial to seek medical attention if you have been involved in a truck accident immediately as the adrenaline spike will numb the sensation of pain.
