Involved In A Car Accident? Here’s Why You Should Engage a Car Accident Lawyer

01/03/2021

It is never easy to live a normal life after surviving the horrors of a severe car wreck. In the United States alone, millions of individuals get injured in car accidents every year. 

According to research, most of these disasters are caused by several factors that include speeding, inattentive driving, inexperienced driving, reckless driving, and driving under the influence.  

Most of these accidents, damages, and injuries can be avoided if drivers follow the road regulations in place. 

Moreover, car accident victims are entitled to seek legal redress and compensation for their injuries, suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages from careless drivers and their insurance companies.

If you have sustained injuries in a car accident or you are a victim of careless driving, you should seek legal redress from a qualified and credible car accident attorney. 

Types of Car Accidents Injuries That Are Fit For Trial 

Although accidents can be avoided, there is no way of predicting when one will happen. Individuals get injured in different forms – even when traveling at low speeds. 

Some of the most common types of auto accident injuries include:

Back Injuries

Back injuries usually vary in seriousness from minor soft tissue injuries to critical spinal cord mutilation. If you suspect you have a spinal cord injury, it is advisable to seek medical attention in the shortest time possible. 

Due to the spinal cord’s sensitivity and function, an injury to this body part might lead to a partial or full loss of feeling and control over certain parts of the body. 

Head Injuries

Most car accidents tend to move the victim’s head uncontrollably in different directions. During such episodes, the head can bump into the dashboard, steering wheel, or even the windscreen. As a result, victims may suffer head injuries such as skull fractures, concussions, and even traumatic brain injuries. 

Chest Injuries

Drivers and passengers might also sustain chest injuries such as broken ribs or bruised chest cavities when the chest hits the dashboard or steering wheel during a crash. That is why it is essential to wear safety belts at all times to avoid such injuries.

Soft Tissues Injuries

Most individuals involved in car accidents fall under this category. Any damage or injury to the tendons, ligaments, or muscles is often classified as soft tissue injuries.

While there are many types of soft tissue injuries, whiplash happens to be one of the most common. This soft tissue injury occurs when the ligaments and muscles in the neck and shoulder stretch too far due to an auto accident’s sudden impact.

It usually affects the upper back, neck and the head, and tends to cause a lot of pain.
