What are common injuries
from a truck collision?
[00:00:02.21] Brian L. Salvi:Â
Some of the injuries that we often see
in our trucking cases involve major
[00:00:07.10]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
orthopedic injuries, injuries to the spine
or spinal cord, or even traumatic brain injuries
[00:00:12.04]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
injuries to the brain itself.
[00:00:14.04]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
All of these types of injuries can impact
a person's ability to live their daily
[00:00:18.14]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
lives, participate in activities that they
used to love, or even participate in the
[00:00:23.00]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
relationships that they've always had.
[00:00:24.22]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
And oftentimes, major orthopedic injuries
require months, if not
[00:00:28.13]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
years, to recover from.
[00:00:29.18]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
When you're thinking about these trucking
incidences, you got to remember that you
[00:00:33.15]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
have very large vehicles with a lot
of weight, and they can
[00:00:37.12]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
generate a lot of force.
[00:00:38.18]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
And because of that,
you end up with more significant
[00:00:41.02]Â Brian L. Salvi:Â
orthopedic injuries or even
potential spine and brain injuries.Â
