Wrongful Death
can be defined as a death caused by the negligent, willful, or unlawful act, neglect, omission, or default of another.
Traumatic Brain Injury
The force of an accident causes the brain to collide against the internal hard bone of the skull. When a moving head comes to a quick stop, the brain continues in its movement. Therefore, forcing it to strike the interior of the skull.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, bruising, and other damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Whiplash
Whiplash is the stretching of head and neck muscles and ligaments in reaction to the sudden movement of a collision.
Chest Injuries
Chest injuries during car accidents often take contusions or bruises, although serious injuries are also possible. Severe chest injuries include broken ribs and damage to internal organs.
Arm & Leg Injuries
Injuries to the extremities are caused by the same forces that cause head injuries: unnatural, sudden direction changes or stops result in the involuntary movement of arms and legs, which often causes injuries to them.
Scrapes and Cuts
In a car collision, any loose objects inside the car immediately become projectiles thrown about the car’s interior.
Herniated Disk
Sometimes called a slipped disk or a ruptured disk, a herniated disk occurs when some nuclei push out through a tear in the annulus. It can result in pain, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg. If the herniation occurs in the neck, it can cause headaches.
Emotional Distress
Serious accidents can leave emotional scars on those who suffered severe injuries and those who witnessed them.
