Tupelo Truck Crash Injuries

Whenever there is a collision involving a large truck, such as a tanker truck, commercial truck, delivery truck, semi truck, tractor-trailer, moving truck, or a dump truck, victims will likely sustain truck crash injuries. Such injuries can result in victims having to attend physical therapy or undergo multiple reconstructive surgeries, which not only can be painful but financially draining. If you or a loved one has sustained injuries as a result of a trucking collision, you should contact the Tupelo truck accident lawyers of Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz. With the assistance of our large regional personal injury law firm’s 30+ attorneys and 120+ support staff members, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the truck driver and perhaps even their employer as well.

Common Truck Crash Injuries

In Lee County, you could be heading to the Tupelo Regional Airport – located at 2763 West Jackson Street Extended, Tupelo, Mississippi 38801 – one day on West Jackson Street when a delivery truck rear-ends your vehicle because the truck driver was distracted. The impact of the collision caused your head to be violently thrown from one direction to another, thus leaving you with whiplash. As your head was being tossed around, it hit your window and left you with head trauma and a concussion. Depending on several factors, such as the force of the impact to one’s head, head trauma can result in impaired vision and hearing loss, among others.

A knowledgeable truck accident attorney in the Tupelo area can shed some light on how juries value certain injuries. For example, a victim with spinal cord injuries that have left him or her paralyzed will likely receive a larger amount of compensation in comparison to a victim with minor scrapes and bruises. Some victims of trucking collisions sustain broken bones, which can potentially puncture an internal organ, thus causing internal bleeding. Other injuries can be so severe that they require several surgeries and months of physical therapy.

While non-economic damages compensate for medical bills and lost wages, non-economic damages compensate for more subjective losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. If you have suffered catastrophic injuries, you likely cannot live your life as you are accustomed to. This could require others to assist you with activities of daily living, like cooking, cleaning, and grooming. Enjoying hobbies, such as playing sports, may also be out of the picture. An experienced truck accident lawyer in the Tupelo area will be able to help you gather the proof needed to develop the damages portion of your case.

Since Mississippi law places the burden of proof on the plaintiff, you will have to establish the defendant’s negligence in order to prove liability, which can be done by showing that you were owed a duty of reasonable care by the defendant, but she or he breached said duty, resulting in you sustaining injuries. Having a medical professional check your injuries is important to your well-being as well as your case, so be sure to obtain the documentation regarding your injuries after you are treated. The documentation can be beneficial in determining the economic and non-economic damages you may be awarded once liability has been proven.
