Tractor trailers haul massive amounts of weight over Texas highways and secondary roads, and when they crash, tractor trailer accidents often leave massive injuries. Because of the heavy loads big trucks carry, the injuries in tractor-trailer accidents are frequently more severe than those caused by other traffic wrecks. The weight difference between an 80,000-pound semi truck and a 4,000-pound automobile means that occupants of the lighter vehicle usually sustain the brunt of the impact in 18-wheeler accidents. Injuries include head injuries, brain damage, multiple fractures, spinal damage and loss of a limb.

A nationwide study of the causes of large truck crashes conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration looked at 967 tractor-trailer accidents. One-fourth of them resulted in fatalities, and 29 percent resulted in incapacitating injuries.
Recovery from injuries in a serious 18-wheeler accident can be a long ordeal involving months of medical treatment, therapy and rehabilitation. The severe impact of a tractor-trailer accident can cause massive head injuries and traumatic brain injury. Truck drivers are often cited for speeding. The impact of a high-speed collision can leave car passengers with multiple fractures and spinal injuries if the passenger compartment of the automobile is compressed by the impact. After a tractor-trailer accident that causes spinal damage or brain injuries, those injured may need assistance to learn to walk again.
