Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can be extremely destructive to the human body, leading to severe injuries and even death.

Some common car accident injuries include:

• Severe burns
• Brain injuries
• Herniated discs
• Nerve damage
• Spinal injuries
• Paralysis

Types of Car Accidents

Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. In some cases, there is truly no one at fault. But many times, the accident is the result of someone being negligent.

Some causes of car accidents include:

• Distracted driving—cell phone use, texting, etc.
• Drunk driving
• Poorly maintained vehicles
• Badly designed roads and intersections
• Reckless driving

The problem with negligence while driving is that it puts so many people at risk, from pedestrians to bicyclists to other drivers. The driver is in control of a potentially deadly vehicle, and it only takes one moment of inattention or one careless mistake to take someone’s life or leave them injured for years to come.

What to Do after an Accident

The injuries that result from a car accident can last a lifetime, which is why it is so important to understand your legal rights following an accident. Even if you do not appear to have any major injuries, you may discover over time that you were in fact hurt, you just did not know it. Because of these risks, your first steps following an accident should always be to seek medical attention. As soon as you have been cleared by a medical professional, you should contact an experienced car accident attorney to discuss your legal options.

If you are involved in an accident and you truly feel okay, it would still behoove you to seek medical attention at a later time, just to be sure. But you can also help your case by taking plenty of pictures of the accident scene. The more pictures your attorney has the easier it will be to understand what happened.

Filing a Suit Following an Accident

If you were hurt due to the negligence of another driver, there is a very good chance that you could pursue a successful personal injury case against the responsible party. Our firm has extensive experience in this area, and we are ready to help you through the process. When you hire our firm, we will investigate the accident and gather evidence to support the case, including witness testimony. Our purpose is to prove that the other driver was at fault, something we will work very hard to do.

If your lawsuit is successful, you should get the money you need to take care of you, your family, and further medical care. It will not take back the accident, but it will make it easier to move on with your life.
