Commercial truck accidents can cause injuries for drivers who are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, but they also may cause injuries for the truck driver themselves. Accidents are a significant on-the-job risk for truck drivers, but there are other risks that truck drivers face while working. Injured truckers have rights, and it is important that injured drivers receive compensation to help them pay for the medical care they need to recover. If you are a truck driver who was injured on the job, you should contact our Albuquerque truck accident lawyer to learn about your options and your rights.

Driving commercial trucks can take a toll on drivers. The vibrations and motions of driving can have negative effects on the body. Drivers spend a significant amount of time sitting, which can lead to back and neck injuries. Long hours of steering can lead to repetitive stress injuries. Climbing up and down from the cab or jumping down can also stress joints and result in sprains and fractures if drivers aren’t careful.
There are many injuries that truck drivers can sustain in the course of their work, but traffic accidents are a leading cause of severe injury for truck drivers. There are many regulations in place that require truck drivers to be safer drivers than the average driver, but the extreme size of commercial trucks can result in catastrophic accidents. When an accident does occur, drivers often sustain serious injuries when they take steps to avoid injuring others. Drivers may veer off the road, hit barriers or other objects, or make sudden changes in direction to avoid injuring other drivers on the road.
