Burns and Lacerations in 18 Wheeler Accidents

Burns and lacerations are some of the most common injuries sustained by victims of 18 wheeler accidents. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including fires, explosions, and impact with sharp objects.

If you have suffered burns or lacerations as a result of a 18 wheeler accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. These types of injuries can be very serious and may require ongoing medical treatment, including surgery and rehabilitation.

In addition to seeking medical attention, there are several steps you should take to protect your legal rights and maximize your compensation:

• Gather evidence: If possible, take photos of your injuries and the accident scene, including the commercial truck involved in the accident. Also, gather contact information for any witnesses to the accident.
• Report the accident: Report the accident to the police and your insurance company as soon as possible. Be sure to provide an accurate account of what happened.
• Contact an attorney: It is important to speak with a personal injury attorney who has experience handling 18 wheeler accident cases. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.
• Keep track of your medical treatment: Keep a detailed record of all medical treatment related to your burns or lacerations, including doctor's visits, surgeries, medications, and physical therapy.
• Do not accept a settlement without consulting with an attorney: The 18 wheeler company's insurance company may try to offer you a settlement soon after the accident. Do not accept any settlement offers without consulting with an attorney first. A settlement may not fully compensate you for your injuries and ongoing medical expenses.

Burns and lacerations can have a significant impact on your life, both physically and financially. By taking the appropriate steps and working with an experienced personal injury attorney, you can protect your legal rights and seek the compensation you deserve.
