Many personal injury cases arise out of auto accidents; however each case is unique because of the wide variety of potential injuries that may result from auto accidents. Some of the most common injuries caused in auto accidents include:

  • Lacerations
  • Burns
  • Bruises
  • Head trauma
  • Whiplash
  • Other back or neck injuries 
  • Bone breaks or fractures
  • Crushed limbs, requiring amputation
  • Internal bleeding
  • Internal organ damage
  • Spinal injuries and paralysis
  • Traumatic brain injuries

The recovery period for auto accident injuries can range from days to months to years, with some injuries causing permanent disabilities. Treatment can be costly and can include emergency services, hospitalization, surgical procedures, rehabilitative therapy, home health care, extensive medical equipment and medication, and much more. Additionally, many auto accident victims may not return to work during their recovery and may lose significant amounts of income and benefits. Other victims may never fully recover and may never return to work or everyday activities. Such injuries can have an emotional impact on victims and their families, as well. The amount of damages that a victim may receive in an auto accident case depends on their injuries, the treatment they need, and other losses.

The types of injuries that victims may suffer in a car accident depend on many different factors. Such factors include the following:

  • The type of impact, e.g. rear-end collision, side swipe, head-on crash, or broadside
  • The speed of the vehicles at the time of the crash
  • Whether one party was on a motorcycle, bicycle, or on foot
  • The age of the motorists
  • The respective health of the motorists
  • Whether the vehicle was equipped with properly working airbags and safety belts
  • Whether children were properly restrained in car seats or using booster seats

As you can see, many different factors can determine whether a car accident victim suffers a minor cut or a paralyzing spinal injury. No matter what type of injury you suffered, however, you deserve to be compensated for your losses if another party’s negligence caused the accident.
