Vehicle collisions and injuries

On Behalf of Wieland & DeLattre | Jan 20, 2023 | Motor Vehicle Accidents |

A car accident may cause more than damage to a vehicle. Florida drivers and passengers might suffer unfortunate injuries, including severe ones. The extent of the treatment and the pain associated with the injuries will vary based on the particular harm. Accident victims might file a lawsuit to recover financial costs related to their care, which could be significant.

Car accident injuries

Whiplash is a common injury that people suffer after a car accident. This neck ligament sprain may cause pain and discomfort that could interfere with lifestyle activities. However, there could be worse injuries the neck may suffer, as a broken neck is not uncommon. The same will be true of spinal and other catastrophic injuries.

Victims may suffer fractures of the arms, legs, skull and other bones. Although a seatbelt may protect someone from severe injuries, people get hurt even when secured. Case in point, someone may attempt to brace themselves by pressing against the dashboard and suffer a broken wrist.

Consider it important to undergo a thorough medical examination when feeling pain. Actually, it might be wise to have a physician check a victim out even when not displaying apparent harm. Internal bleeding and other life-threatening conditions might be present.

Financial considerations

Car accident injuries could leave the victim dealing with serious financial troubles. A person recovering from broken bones might miss work for many months. Various injuries could also lead to problems with making a living.

Motor vehicle accidents may leave even persons with health insurance struggling with medical bills. Not all necessary. Treatments may be covered under the insurance policy. Sometimes, extensive rehabilitation becomes necessary, adding even more costs.

Injuries suffered in a car crash may leave people with multiple injuries. A lawsuit or insurance settlement could cover the financial costs.
