PILEUP TRUCK ACCIDENTS

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Jefferson City, Missouri

 

A pileup truck accident, or multi-vehicle accident, is usually a major disaster. Depending on the number of vehicles involved, dozens of people can be injured, highways can be shut down for days, and even result in some fatalities.

 

Pileup accidents call for an experienced attorney skilled at handling large cases. At The Bradley Law Firm, our truck accident attorneys have thirty years of successful experience in prosecuting large 18-wheeler accident cases. Please contact us to discuss your case.

 

Why Pileup Accidents are so Dangerous

 

Multi-car pile-ups often result in large numbers of injuries and deaths. The factors below also come into play in multi-car pile-ups:

 

• Location – Pileups typically occur on highways and interstates where speeds are faster, resulting in forceful impacts.
• Behavior at the scene – Drivers leave vehicles to inspect damages without noticing that other vehicles are approaching.
• Difficulty escaping – Crushed vehicles in pileup accidents are difficult to escape from. If a fire starts or a secondary collision occurs, trapped victims may lose their lives.

 

Injuries in Pileup Accidents

 

Pileup accident victims tend to sustain serious injuries, such as:

 

• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Catastrophic Burns
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Amputation
• Broken Bones
• Back and Neck Injury

 

These severe injuries can cause permanent disability or disfigurement, require long and expensive medical treatment, and necessitate life-long living assistance.

Because injuries are severe, a victim’s family can quickly be saddled with huge medical bills or worse-- lose an income due to the victim’s permanent disability or wrongful death.
