Common Types of Car Accident Injuries and Their Legal Implications

Now a Word from Gary Bell

Auto Legal Talk

By Gary Bell of Bell & Pollock Injury Attorneys

Car accidents can result in a wide variety of injuries from minor bruises and strains to severe and permanent physical trauma. Some of the most common types of injuries sustained in automobile collisions include whiplash, back or neck injuries, concussions and brain injuries, fractures, and orthopedic injuries. These injuries may heal with time and treatment, but they can also have lasting legal implications worth consulting an attorney about.

Whiplash and back or neck strains are among the most frequently reported injuries in car accidents. While they may feel minor initially, these soft tissue injuries sometimes result in chronic pain and limited mobility long after the collision. Concussions and traumatic brain injuries are also prevalent and can lead to persistent cognitive difficulties. These types of injuries may not be immediately apparent but could surface days or years later, potentially necessitating ongoing medical care and lost wages. Fractures are another common outcome of vehicle impacts and often require surgery and a slow, painful recovery process. All of these injuries may allow you to recover damages for past and future medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

It’s important to document the full extent of your injuries following an accident. Your attorney can help obtain your medical records to build a case showing how the crash has negatively impacted your health, work, and life activities. Even injuries that seem minor could become debilitating over time. Don’t hesitate to report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, as ongoing treatment and medical expenses may increase the value of your personal injury claim. Consulting an attorney experienced in car wreck cases can help you understand your legal options to fairly compensate you for injuries caused by another driver’s negligence.

If you were involved in a minor fender bender and did not suffer injuries, you can probably deal with insurance claims yourself. However, if you were in a traffic accident that caused severe injuries or vehicle damage, the assistance of a skilled attorney will be essential

If you’ve been injured while driving, contact one of our experienced lawyers at the Law Firm of Bell & Pollock to establish your legal game plan.
