JOINT REPLACEMENT AFTER A NEW MEXICO TRUCKING ACCIDENT
Severe New Mexico Trucking Accident Injuries Resulting in a Joint Replacement
A New Mexico trucking accident can result in catastrophic injuries. This is because a commercial vehicle like a big rig, 18 wheeler, semi tractor trailer, double trailer, and other large box truck generate a lot of force in a collision. This means individuals in smaller, passenger vehicles will be subjected to that force. This will cause extreme damage to individuals, which typically are focused on the head, spine, and joints. The joints that are most commonly injured are the shoulders, hips, and knees. When these structures are extensively injured, they could require a complete joint replacement. This is an extensive surgery which is permanent and irreversible.

Loss of Limb Due to Serious Rig Big Crash: New Mexico 18 Wheeler Wrecks Causing Amputations
An amputation or loss of limb is one of the most serious and debilitating injuries that an individual could sustain. While all motor vehicle accidents could result in the loss of a limb, New Mexico 18 wheeler wrecks involving large big rigs, semi tractor trailers, tankers, double tandem trailers, and other box trucks are most likely to cause amputations. This is because of the sheer force generated by these box trucks can result in catastrophic damage to smaller passenger vehicles, even at low speeds. This means that limbs can become trapped in twisted metal, sustain mutilating injuries, and even be severed in the crash.
