COMMON PERSONAL INJURIES SUFFERED IN ACCDIENTS
Some of the most obvious losses resulting from an accident are medical bills piling up while treating personal injuries. The types of injuries received from a car accident vary, but some are often associated with car accidents, like whiplash. However, there many injuries that can result from a wreck, including but not limited to:
• Broken Bones
• Brain contusions and hemorrhaging
• Spinal damage.
• Neck injuries (e.g. whiplash)
• Concussions
• Burns
• Nerve damage
• Sprains, strains or muscles tears.
• Loss of limbs
It is hard to include all the personal trauma that may occur on one list, because the potential wounds and injuries are almost countless and they are certainly unique to each case. Yours may be a serious eye wound, or a passenger may have suffered a heart attack as result of the crash. So, just because an injury does not appear on our list does mean your injury is not a valid one.

Burn Injuries
Burns themselves can be extraordinarily painful and can lead to infection, other complications, disability and in some cases, death. When these injuries are the result of negligence, our experienced team of professionals will will be there for you.
Burns can be caused by a defective product, electricity, heat or a chemical reaction. Simply put, there are many causes and if you have been burned due to someone else’s negligence please contact us.
Neck and Back Injuries
Of the injuries which somebody can sustain in an accident, probably the worst are head injuries and those involving the neck and back such as whiplash. Neck and back injuries almost always involve damage to the muscles, the vertebrae in the spinal column or the spinal cord itself. While muscle pain and dislocation to the bones in the backbone can be extremely painful, any damage to the spinal cord can be devastating.
When injuries to the neck and back have been caused by somebody else’s negligence or carelessness, then you have the legal right to claim for compensation for the injuries you have received.
Contacting an attorney is the best way to go about claiming some recompense for any injury you have received.
Back Injuries
If you have had a serious injury to some part of your body, like your back, in a truck accident you should seriously consider filing for damages if you think that the injury was clearly the result of somebody else’s negligence.
Don’t leave it too late, as a successful claim depends very much on evidence and the fresher the evidence, the more useful it will be.
Back injuries, especially if your spine or your spinal cord is damaged, will inevitably mean a huge personal expense and there should be no reason why you should have to pay for somebody else’s carelessness.
Dog Bites and Attacks
Far from a playful nip, a dog bite is a very serious matter that can have lifelong consequences. Nearly 800,000 dog bites are treated each year in hospital emergency rooms across the United States.
Some of these dog bite injuries will require long hospital stays, rehabilitation, reconstructive surgery and emergency life-saving procedures. Tragically, some dog bites will even result in death, especially for young children and older adults.
Fractures and Broken Bones
Broken and fractured bones occur frequently to victims of injuries in automobile accidents. A fracture takes place when the force in a crash is greater than our bones’ strength. There are many auto accident victims who often suffer a broken arm, wrist, hands and fingers due to bracing in a side impact or head-on crash.
When the body comes into contact with a dashboard, windshield or one of the sides of the vehicle the impact is so powerful that it can cause a skull fracture, fractures to the chin and cheek bones, broken nose and the jaw.
Collisions which involve a great force can lead to a broken leg, a broken ankle and a broken or crushed pelvis. Pedestrians who are hit while in a cross walk by a vehicle sometimes break their knee bones, as well as breaking some of the bones in their necks and backs. Call our injury Attorneys to schedule a free consultation.
THINGS TO CONSIDER IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT
• How long will you be off work?
• How will you pay your bills while you are recovering?
• How will you get to your doctors appointments?
• Will they hold your job for you?
• How much does it cost to hire an accident lawyer ?
Then of course, you have to consider the long term.
• What if I cant go back to work ?
• Will I be able to perform my job again ?
• Will I need assistance to live a normal life ?
• Will there be any long-term damage ?
• Will my quality of life change ?
But the biggest question you should be asking following any type of accident is:
“Can I trust the insurance companies?”
The answer to that question is very simple NO!
