Understanding Common Car Accident Injuries
Injuries sustained in car accidents can range from minor cuts and bruises to severe, life-altering conditions. The force and impact of a collision can lead to a variety of injuries, affecting different parts of the body. Understanding the common types of injuries resulting from car accidents is crucial for both prevention and treatment.
- Whiplash: One of the most common injuries in car accidents, whiplash occurs when the neck and head are suddenly jerked forward and then backward, causing strain on the cervical spine. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and sometimes dizziness or blurred vision.
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur due to the head striking the steering wheel, dashboard, or window upon impact. These injuries can range from mild concussions to severe brain damage, leading to long-term cognitive impairments, memory loss, and even coma.
- Broken Bones: The impact of a car crash can cause fractures or breaks in various bones, including the arms, legs, ribs, and pelvis. These injuries often require immediate medical attention and may necessitate surgery to repair.
- Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma from a collision can cause internal injuries such as organ damage, internal bleeding, or ruptured organs. These injuries may not be immediately apparent and can lead to life-threatening complications if left untreated.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Muscles, tendons, and ligaments can be strained or torn during a car accident, leading to soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, or tears. These injuries can result in pain, swelling, and limited mobility, requiring rest, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.
- Psychological Trauma: Car accidents can also have a profound impact on mental health, causing emotional distress, anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event like a car crash can leave lasting psychological scars that may require therapy or counseling to address.
Maximizing Your Compensation After a Car Accident
Car accidents are sure to be a major financial setback for anyone. Low speed collisions and relatively simple fender benders may still cost thousands in healthcare and necessary repairs. There can also be nonphysical harm caused that is not so easily put into an empirical measurement of dollars and cents.
You should always allow a professional injury lawyer to review your damages and claim to determine the true and full value of your case.

- Hospital bills
- Vehicle repair

"Skipper Law saved me over $100,000 on an appeal against one of the largest financial services (brokerage) firms in the United States!"I cannot express how happy I am that I hired Matthew D. Skipper to handle my case. It was like David vs. Goliath where a young, soon to be King David won and SO DID WE! It did not take our opposition (a large Wall Street firm that we sued, including their "team of attorneys") long to realize that they were headed to very embarrassing, public defeat that would have most likely garnered national attention; and as a result they quickly conceded defeat! As if counter-suing and defeating a multi-billion dollar fortune 500 firm wasn't enough, after calling their bluff Matthew advised me to demand that they also pay 100% of my legal fees to his law firm AND THEY DID IT!!! As I recall how Matthew crafted an extremely well written counter claim against our opponents and delivered what could only be described as a majestic oral argument before the Federal Court, I cannot help but think that King David himself would have been proud to have Matthew D. Skipper of Skipper Law, LLC as his legal counsel! If you need an attorney, do NOT leave this page until you contact Skipper Law at: (443) 274-6106.- M. Smith, President of Wealthcare Financial Group, Inc.
