Truck drivers and other motorists rely on truck brakes to ensure that trucks stop in time in order to avoid an accident. When truck drivers are negligent in braking correctly or when a truck’s brakes fail due to incorrect maintenance, poor manufacturing, or bad design, passengers in passenger cars as well as motorcyclists often pay the price. A truck has enough size and force to crush a smaller vehicle and its occupants.

In addition, your insurance carrier and health coverage may be able to help you pay for some of your medical costs. The question is how many of your medical costs will be covered in this manner? For many people who have been seriously injured in a car or truck accident, it ends up being too little. Many people find that they need to work with a personal injury attorney in order to get fair compensation for their injuries.
Act Quickly After a Serious Traffic CrashIf you have suffered a serious injury due to braking failure or incorrect braking technique, is important to get a medical evaluation medical attention right away. Injuries sustained in these types of accidents tend to be devastating, and the sooner you can get a proper diagnosis and start treatment, the better your chances are of making a good recovery from your injuries.
Even if you think you have walked away from a truck accident with no injuries, it is important to get a full medical evaluation. Unfortunately, some serious and even life-threatening injuries do not always have symptoms right away. For example, some brain injury patients walk away from a traffic accident only to develop a headache and collapse within hours of the initial collision.
