Types Of Car Accident Injuries and Their Impact on Victims
The effects of a car accident might be felt for months, years or life by many victims. Severe and extensive injuries can impact the quality of life of those who sustain them, playing havoc not only with their physical but also with their emotional and psychological state. Some of the most common car accident injuries may require long-term or permanent medical care, siphoning the finances of the victims who are unable to return to work while they fight to recover their health.
Some of the most common types of injuries associated with car accidents are:
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Sustaining a traumatic brain injury is no joking matter. The victim’s quality of life will be seriously impacted by changes in their memory, attention and problem-solving abilities, and by bursts of emotional and behavioral changes that may also involve anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
Victims of traumatic brain injuries may be unable to return to work since their injuries may interfere with their ability to perform the simplest everyday tasks.
Spinal Cord Injuries
An injury to your spinal cord can have immediate and devastating consequences. Damage to the spinal cord can result in partial or full paralysis, something that will be with you for the rest of your life. All of a sudden you may lose your independence, may need help with everyday tasks that were not an issue before. Your relationships and social interactions may suffer, you may be unable to go back to work and your financial situation may take a hit. You may have to adapt to a new way of life that in no way resembles what your life was before the accident.
Whiplash
Whiplash is the most common injury in car accidents. It happens because of the force of the crash that jerks the head backward and forward in an unnatural way. Although some victims are lucky to overcome the effects of whiplash in a few days, others may deal with pain for a long time. Whiplash may impact your ability to sleep or conduct other daily activities.
Broken Bones
The severity of fractures varies. Some may heal within a few weeks while others may require surgery. Also, you may be dealing with several broken bones which may have you experiencing severe pain and may impact your quality of life.
Internal Injuries
Some internal injuries are obvious to detect since they are accompanied by pain and bleeding. Others may require a medical professional to diagnose. That is why it is essential that you get a complete medical checkup as soon as you can after the accident. You do not want to risk any of your internal organs not working and you do not want to have to deal with the consequences of an internal injury that has not been promptly treated.
Psychological Trauma
You cannot discard the psychological effects of a car accident. Many people become afraid of riding in a car again, others get anxious if they have to drive through the place where the accident happened. Many more deal with PTSD, are unable to get a good night’s sleep, feel anxious or depressed, and do not know how to get on with their lives.
Determining The Compensation Amount for Car Accident Injuries
When you take matters into your own hands and deal with the other driver or the insurance company without any help, you may feel you have done a good job and gotten the compensation you needed to resolve your injuries and other losses. However, when you work with a Mundelein auto accident attorney from The Law Office of Jack M. Shapiro, we will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident to be able to determine precisely how much your case is worth.
You may still be facing medical expenses for your injuries in the future, and this may be an amount you have not negotiated with the insurance. You may also have non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, PTSD and others, and you may be unsure as to how much you should ask the insurance company for these intangible items.
When you work with a Mundelein car accident attorney from the Law Office of Jack M. Shapiro, we will explain how we determine the amount you should seek for your car accident injuries and losses. We will not fall under the pressure of the insurance company to accept an amount that will be insufficient to cover your needs and we will fight tirelessly to get you the maximum compensation you deserve for your injuries and other losses.
