How Car Accident Injuries Can Impact Your Life

As the volume of traffic increases, the chances of getting involved in a car accident continue to increase. With more than 160,000 accidents involving deaths or injuries in 2012 alone, California residents need to be aware of and be prepared for the possible involvement of a traffic accident, the risk of serious injury is quite high. California personal injury attorneys want all of our readers to be aware of the risks that can be taken and what can be done to mitigate the consequences if you or a family member suffers any type of injury in a car accident.
There
are several types of injuries that are frequently suffered as a result of a car accident. Due to the particularity of the accident and of each person the degree of their injuries and the severity is variable, there is no established schedule to recover from a traffic accident. The car accident attorneys at Attorney with You understand that injuries and healing times are not easy to determine, but there are some basic guidelines that victims can consider if they are injured.
Whiplash is a very common injury in traffic accidents. Due to the tearing of the vertebral ligaments of the neck you can suffer from chronic pain and sometimes they are permanent.
Concussion symptoms are: memory loss, dizziness, headaches, nausea and sequelae of psychological disorder as well, such as depression and emotional instability.
Coma is a state of indefinite loss of consciousness that can lead to death.
Paralysis One is the failure in muscle function that can be partial or complete caused by neck fracture or severe spinal cord injury.
Broken bones depending on the intensity of the blow can end with one or more broken bones, even remain immobilized or in a wheelchair for a long time.
Amputation happens in high-impact collisions, the bodily limbs of the victims can suffer detachment, mutilation, pulverize, in short, an irremediable destruction that in some cases the circumstances leave no other option to doctors than to surgically remove these diseases that can cause phantom limb pain syndrome, this means that you continue to feel some discomfort and discomfort as if the limb amputee would still be there.
Impalement yes, as well as read, impalement, many of the materials from which the vehicle is made such as plastic, metal, including other materials linked to the accident, such as wood and road objects. They can penetrate the skin at the time of impact causing very serious injuries and even death.

Blindness Glass shards that fly out in violent crashes or a strong cranial blow can cause total vision loss.
Death. There’s not much to say about it, except that you could stop yourself from making the worst mistake of your life by avoiding being distracted while driving.e. Burn Injuries.
Although not as common as whiplash injuries, they are often life-altering for victims. Government statistics indicate that approximately seven percent of all burn injuries are a direct result of car accidents. Burn injuries are classified as first, second, or third degree burns.
Fractures. While falls are the leading cause of fractures, vehicle accidents are the second frequent cause of broken bones. Fractures require different types of treatments. Displaced and open fractures often require surgery and can take several months to heal.car-accident-injury-289x386
Airbag injuries. Although airbags save lives, deploying at more than 100 mph can also cause injury, or even death, to a vehicle’s occupants.
No matter what type of injury a vehicle accident victim has suffered, the first priority is to get the best care possible. Being in the hospital, in rehab or recovery at home usually means not working – and not earning income without disability benefits. You may be entitled to compensation in the form of wages or hourly wages that you have already lost and for your “loss of earning ability” – that is, the income you are likely to lose as a result of the accident.
What actions should victims take to be compensated after an accident?
California law gives victims two years to file a lawsuit against a negligent driver. However, it is rarely advisable to wait that long, as memories are ephemeral, and both victims and witnesses tend to forget important details when actions take too long.
You need peace of mind and focus on your healing, while your attorney should focus on all the details of the case on your behalf. With over 30 years of combined experience and tens of millions of dollars recovered for injured clients, the attorneys at Contigo Law Firm know what it takes to achieve the best results.
