Many accident injuries result in a temporary or permanent disability to the victim.

Common Car Accident Injuries
Car accident victims often suffer from the following injuries:
- Soft tissue damage, whiplash, strains, sprains
- Broken or crushed bones, dislocations, amputations
- Spinal cord injuries, paraplegia, quadriplegia
- Traumatic brain injury, internal organ damage
Factors that can contribute to car accidents are driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driver distraction, tired driver, poor visibility, rain or snow with wet or slippery roads, objects on the road or bad road conditions, tire blowout or mechanical failure. Most accidents are preventable, but a car accident that is the result of negligence or recklessness of another may entitle the injured victim to compensation . The responsible party may be liable for damages to the injured victim for loss of income, medical costs, property damage, and pain and suffering. A further damage of loss of companionship may apply in a wrongful death case.
Most car owners have insurance to cover medical costs and property damage for individuals involved in traffic collisions. An insurance settlement offer may not adequately compensate the victim for the injuries and suffering resulting from the car accident. Settlement offers may include forfeiting future rights to compensation. It is important to speak with one of our attorneys before signing settlement papers with an insurance company. Insurance companies typically try to settle a claim quickly and for less than the injury is worth. Make an appointment today for a consultation with one of our car accident lawyers.
