Common Car Accident Injuries

When a car accident happens the injuries and damages can be devastating.

With all accidents there can be a wide range of injury and the seriousness of those injuries will be unique to each accident.

Cars these days are built with many incredible safety features.

With that being said injury from a car accident still happens.

The speed and size of the vehicles will often determine the extent of the injuries.

Even at slow speeds an accident can leave behind injury that can be life changing and fatal.

TBI – Any time you hit your head or it is moved back and force violently the chance for serious head injury is there. The brain not only controls your physical wellbeing but also your mental wellness. If the brain is injured there are many different functions that may be affected. If the injury is serious enough then recovery will take a long time. In some cases, the brain can sustain permanent damage which can lead to a lifelong of challenges. Some of the symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury include;

Dizziness
Ears Ringing
Loss of Consciousness
Speech Problems
Vomiting
Headaches
Drowsiness
Sleeping Difficulty

Lacerations – An injury with cuts and scrapes can be dangerous if there is serious bleeding. Abrasions can be caused by scraping the skin against something in the vehicle during a crash. Glass is known to break in car accidents and can severely cut a person. If there is a nerve or tendon damaged the injury may be permanent. Wounds will need to get immediate and proper medical attention. Healing may take some time and if the lacerations are deep permanent scars may be left behind. Infections wounds can make for complications in the recovery. Signs of infection to a laceration or wound may include;

Fever
Swelling
Chills
Pain
Pus Draining from Wound

Fractures – A broken bone can be very painful. Serious breaks like compound fractures will need surgery is many cases. Just having an arm or leg in a cast can set a person back. Breaks can cause a person to miss work. Most times when a person is missing work it also means that they are missing out on earning money. Having to take time off to heal a bone break can leave a person financially burdened. Depending on the type of accident will dictate the bones that may be injured in a car accident. Some of the fractures that our offices see from a car accident include;

Skull
Facial
Arms
Legs
Ribs

spinal injury from car accident

Spinal Injury – A back injury can have a long-term effect on the person injured. It can also affect loved ones that may have to care for the person. When the spine is injured a person can lose function in other body parts. Paralysis is devastating when the victim has lost feeling in arms or legs. Sometimes all limbs can lose feeling this is referred to as quadriplegia. From the neck down a person may have no feeling in these severe cases. There is possible treatment for this type of injury but in many cases the injury can be a permanent one. The most common reason for this injury is a motor vehicle crash. The risk of a serious spinal injury increases when there is no seat belt used at the time of the accident. A person can be thrown about and, in some accidents, ejected out of the vehicle altogether.

With all these injuries there will be needed time to heal and medical expenses.

All this adds up to lost wages and a sense of being overwhelmed, especially with car repair bills and a statute of limitations.

If you were injured in a Green Valley car accident due to the fault of another than you should not be liable for the damages.

You should not be held responsible for the expenses and financial hardships that were caused by another person’s mistake, negligence, or actions.

Having a reliable and reputable personal injury attorney will protect your rights and help get you the compensation that you deserve.

Car Accidents in Green Valley

T Bone – First of all what is a T-Bone car accident? This is when a car is hit on the side or broadsided and the collision makes the appearance of a T. A large percentage of car accident deaths to drivers and passengers occur due to this accident type. There are a number of ways that this type of accident can occur. Running stop signs, red lights or taking a right or left turn in traffic are some ways. Drivers speeding or distracted are some common reasons for the accident.

Rear End – Getting hit from behind is fairly common. I would say most of us if you have driven for a number of years have had the misfortune of this accident type. Sometimes it is just a minor fender bender. Everyone is ok and numbers and insurance exchanged. The problem with that is that injuries like whiplash may not be felt until days later. In more serious cases there could be multiple cars involved because the car hits you from behind and now you hit another vehicle. This can be scary and injuries may be serious. A car in a parking lot going 5 miles per hour will do a lot less damage than a speeding vehicle going 70. This car accident is wide ranging in the damage left behind.

Head On – Definitely the worst type of accident any one wants to ever be involved in. A crash like this can leave behind it some serious injuries or fatalities. When cars are driving in opposite directions and hit in the front of the vehicles the crash is often devastating. Speed of the crash can make a big difference. A head on accident can happen in an instance if a driver gets distracted. Spilling something or dropping an item and reaching down to pick it up in the cracks of the seat may be all the distraction needed. Phones, maps, and daydreaming can add to the risk. A tired driver falling asleep at the wheel in Green Valley coming home from a shift at work can spell out disaster as well.

Every accident type can definitely cause injury.

If you get hit by another car try to talk to witnesses, gather evidence (photos, etc.) and call the police so you can get a police report.

These days it is not uncommon to see drivers speeding and cutting in and out of traffic.

Maybe too many ‘Fast and Furious’ movies they have seen as they race you to the next light.

Stay on the lookout for reckless drivers and try your best to avoid any of these accident types.

Stay Safe!
