Common Car Accident Injuries

April 5, 2013

A car accident can cause catastrophic injuries. Some of the common serious injuries resulting from accidents include:

• Spinal cord injury
• Brain injury
• Amputation
• Back injury
• Neck injury

These injuries can have life-altering effects. The medical bills to treat such injuries can be staggering, and you may be unable to work and support your loved ones. On top of these financial matters, you may be dealing with severe pain.

In the aftermath of a car accident, you'll have to figure out how to pay your building medical expenses, while also losing wages from missing work. If the other driver was an uninsured or underinsured motorist, you may be unsure of how you will pay your injury expenses.

If the car accident was caused by the other driver's carelessness and was not your fault, you deserve compensation. An experienced car accident lawyer can fight to recover compensation from the responsible party, so you can make a full recovery from your injury and have a way to pay for your treatment.

Even low-speed crashes can harm drivers and passengers of the vehicles involved in a traffic accident. Though the exact nature of a victim's injuries will depend on the specific details of the collision, common types of car accident injuries include:

• Brain injury, from mild concussion to serious head trauma
• Neck or back injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Whiplash and damage to other soft tissue (muscles, tendons, and ligaments)
• Bone fractures
• Cuts and bruises

In addition to the physical injuries, many car accident victims also suffer mental and emotional harm from the trauma caused by such a disturbing event.

The very first thing you should do after a car accident is seek medical attention as soon as possible. Not only can paramedics, nurses, and doctors provide life-saving intervention, but your medical records could be a key piece of evidence in your claim against the responsible driver.

Medical personnel might perform a variety of tests to determine the extent of your injuries and what treatments could help you recover:

• Physical exam and full medical history
• X-rays
• MRI
• CT scan

Once you've received medical care for your injuries, our Escondido car accident lawyer can meet with you to discuss your case. Mr. Rubinstein will gather evidence to build a strong claim on your behalf, including:

• Your medical records
• Police reports
• Photos of the scene and the vehicles involved
• Witness statements
• Testimony from accident reconstruction experts

Our experienced lawyer can help you pursue the compensation you deserve from the driver responsible for the car accident that caused your injuries.
