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. This emotional distress along with physical injuries can diminish a victim’s quality of life not only immediately after the accident but also in the future.

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 San Marcos car accident lawyer can meet with you to discuss your case. The injuries sustained from a car accident will likely lead to medical expenses, rehabilitative services, and potential lost wages. Receiving a fair and favorable compensation can help alleviate the financial burden caused by the negligible actions of those involved in the accident.

Mr. Rubinstein will gather evidence, including:

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

This evidence will be a key component in helping to build a strong claim on your behalf.

With millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements, our experienced lawyer can help you pursue the compensation you deserve from the driver responsible for the car accident that caused your injuries.
