Severe Burn Injuries in Commercial Truck Collisions

Commercial trucks carry up to 300 gallons of volatile diesel fuel in exterior saddle tanks, and chemical tankers carry hazardous materials (hazmat). Ruptures often cause thermal, electrical, or chemical burn injuries (2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree). Recovery in Texas covers intensive burn unit hospitalization, skin debridement, grafting, reconstructive plastic surgeries, and permanent disfigurement damages.
