Oroville is a beautiful Northern California City located right at the base of the Sierra Nevadas along the Plumas National Forest. The city is considered the gateway to Feather River and Lake Oroville recreational areas, meaning residents have easy access to California’s second-largest lake year-round. With so many activities to participate in, including skiing, swimming, sailing, camping, and fishing, it’s easy to see how people fall in love with Oroville.

While Oroville is a great place to live, it’s also the seat of the Butte County government, home to over 15,000 people, and on one of the area’s largest highways. All of this together means that Oroville can see relatively high amounts of vehicle traffic, which means it also sees a fair number of truck accidents.

You probably wonder how to begin if you’ve been in an Oroville truck accident. Many people feel overwhelmed by their day-to-day life after being involved in a crash and struggle to manage their pain while worrying about paying bills, working, and regaining their health.

These things are common for survivors of truck accidents, and most people who survive truck accidents suffer serious injuries. Some of the more common injuries we’ve seen representing truck accident survivors since 1982 include the following:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries – One of the most severe and common types of accident trauma.
• Spinal Cord Injuries – Damaged spinal cords can lead to the loss of sensation or function in one or more body areas.
• Back Injuries – Severe strain, sprains, damaged vertebrae, herniated disks, and fractures can impact your life.
• Internal Injuries – Injuries to internal organs such as the kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, etc., are often caused by fractured ribs and are frequently life-threatening.
• Fractured Bones – a bone fracture can take a long time to heal and often results in limited mobility for the injured person.

Many people we’ve worked with have also suffered injuries that aren’t immediately apparent. Being in a truck accident can be traumatic, and it’s common to be left with psychological injuries. Issues such as emotional distress, depression, persistent anxiety, and post-traumatic stress can be challenging and sometimes permanently affect accident survivors.

Those in truck accidents may not truly comprehend how these issues can affect their lives and those around them. However, the effects of truck accident injuries are authentic and can dramatically change many aspects of your relationships, career, self-image, and quality of life.
