Common Injuries And Long-Term Impacts Following Car Accidents
Auto accidents can lead to serious injuries, especially in collisions that involve commercial vehicles or high speeds. Car accident lawyers often have clients who suffer from long-term issues related to injuries like:
- Whiplash: The sudden impact from a vehicle collision can cause a victim’s head to suddenly jerk back and forth, causing injury to their brain and spine. Whiplash can cause serious pain and can lead to chronic headaches, numbness and other symptoms.
- Concussion: A victim can suffer a sudden and forceful head injury in an auto accident that damages their brain. Brain trauma from even relatively mild concussions can lead to headaches, memory loss, difficulty focusing and severe fatigue.
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI): These are generally severe brain injuries, which can involve bleeding in the victim’s brain and cause permanent disabilities through long-term cognitive impairment, memory loss, physical weakness and personality changes.
- Traumatic spine injuries (TSI): Damage to a victim’s spine can lead to herniated discs and other damage to their vertebrae, or even partial and full forms of paralysis. TSIs can lead to extreme pain, difficulty walking, problems breathing, nerve damage and other severe disabilities.
- Internal bleeding: The blunt force trauma of a wreck can cause damage to a victim’s internal organs. Internal bleeding may not be immediately apparent and may be difficult to identify, leading to organ failure and death.
- Disfigurement: Cuts, bruises, burns and limb loss can disfigure a victim in a car or pedestrian accident, leading to extensive scarring and emotional trauma.
While many car accident victims will eventually heal, others do not – and all of them may be left with a lot of expensive medical bills and lengthy recovery periods where they cannot work. Those with serious injuries may never be able to work again or suffer from lifelong pain and disabilities that impact their everyday life.
Insurance companies typically seek to minimize their losses by downplaying a victim’s injuries and the ongoing difficulties they may face as a result. An experienced car accident lawyer understands how to demonstrate the full impact of a wreck on your life so that you can receive the maximum compensation possible.
