Pickup Truck Accidents in Gainesville, Florida
A pickup truck (also called pick-up truck or simply pickup) is a vehicle with an open-top rear cargo bed. These trucks are generally much lighter than large trucks used for deliveries or commercial vehicles, but pickup trucks will often weigh more than other passenger vehicles. A pickup truck may also be carrying cargo that drastically increases its weight.
Although the specific circumstances of a pickup truck accident will vary depending on the force and impact of the collision as well as the point of impact, a driver, passenger, pedestrian or cyclist may sustain serious injury in the event of an accident of this kind. Head trauma, spinal cord injury, whiplash, broken bones, lacerations, and internal organ injury are all examples of the potential consequences of a pickup truck accident. Any of these may require immediate medical attention or even hospitalization, leading to exorbitant medical bills and missed work.
