Downey truck collision injury victims can have serious injuries, sometimes resulting in wrongful death claims. Truck drivers, especially those driving commercial vehicles with oversize loads of cargo, should take special care to watch out for other drivers and create safer conditions on the road. Several reasons for the occurrence of truck and car accidents include:

• Extreme Climate such as heavy rainfall that makes it difficult to see ahead in the road
• Faulty car or truck brakes, forcing drivers to lose control
• Truck driver having alcohol intoxication beyond legal level of 0.08 and driving

Texting while driving has led to numerous accidents in recent years, especially among the youth who have grown up with smart phones. Texting while behind the wheel can be extremely dangerous because you are taking your eyes completely off the road to look at your phone and write a message, which means that at that moment or several seconds you are texting, there is no awareness as to what is happening in front of your vehicle. For example, there may be a sudden stop in traffic or maybe another driver who is not focused and cuts into your lane, but you do not have enough time to react or you might end up crashing before you look back onto the road, which can cause a catastrophic accident with critical injuries. It is best to stop your car on the side of the road or get to your destination before you text, because it can save you and other peoples' lives on the road.

A very common form of injury from a truck or car collision is a whiplash injury. A whiplash injury can be a label given to any injury to the neck that is caused by or in relation to a sudden distortion of the neck. Usually a whiplash occurs in an auto collision when the victim's vehicle is struck from the rear. Symptoms can include headaches, pain and aching from the neck down into the back and shoulders or a sensory disturbance in the arms and legs. Treatment requires doing light exercises with slow movements that work the area combined with acupuncture or massage therapy.
