Common Injuries from Car Accidents in Coweta County
There are any number of injuries you may suffer after a car crash. These injuries range from simple cuts and bruises to debilitating brain and spinal injuries.
In some instances, you may not even realize you have suffered catastrophic injuries until well after the accident.
For example, internal bleeding and organ damage may not be immediately apparent. This is why it is so important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after a collision, even if you do not believe you suffered serious injuries.
Some of the most common injuries you may suffer after an auto accident include:
Neck Injury/Whiplash
Neck injury (whiplash) is a very common injury in auto accidents causing weeks, if not months of painful symptoms while the surrounding muscles and connective tissues slowly heal. During this time, whiplash victims suffer significant limitations making activities such as driving, reading, computer work, household tasks, and sleeping difficult, if not painfully prohibitive.
Spinal Injury
Spine injury, especially to one’s discs, is often a permanent injury causing functional limitations for the duration of a person’s life, to include an inability to sit or stand for prolonged amounts of time or walk or run for long distances. Beyond this, spine injury victims also usually suffer limitations in their ability to engage in activities that require pulling, pushing, and bending, making most of their daily activities cumbersome and uncomfortable.
Back Injury
Back injuries can be debilitating, affecting almost all aspects of a person’s life making most activities difficult and painful. Almost everything a person does requires some sort of back movement, making these injuries painful and devastating.
Head and Face Injury
Cases involving head and face injuries are often unsightly with serious injuries to the brain, eyes, mouth, and teeth that can require extensive medical and dental treatment. Plastic surgery may be necessary if the face is disfigured or injured.
Internal Injuries
Internal injuries are often life threatening as they remain unseen and can cause serious complications, if not death, if not discovered and treated in a timely manner.
Burns
Burns are often among the most painful types of injuries requiring extensive treatment and leaving scars that can last a lifetime. The physical and emotional turmoil from burn injuries can forever change a person’s life. The damaged skin tissue is not only unsightly and embarrassing, but also painful and uncomfortable.
Fractured Bones
Fractured bones are serious injuries accompanied with extreme pain and immobility. In the worst cases, surgery may be necessary to ensure proper placement and healing.
Scars Requiring Plastic Surgery
Scars requiring plastic surgery are usually the result of significant injury. And, while doctor’s can often improve their appearance, it is not without considerable pain, discomfort, and lengthy recovery. And, while plastic surgery can be beneficial, it never restores a person’s skin to its pre-injury condition.
Children's Injuries
Injuries to children are among the most emotionally devastating sorts of injuries. Seeing your child seriously hurt and suffering injury and associated pain and discomfort is troubling. These injuries can also cause developmental problems requiring extensive medical treatment, both physical and psychological.
Paralysis
Paralysis of any form is a permanent life altering injury, often requiring in-home care or placement in a care facility.
Coma
A coma effectively removes a person from their existence and the lives of their family and friends, wrecking emotional and financial havoc. Do not shoulder the cost of medical treatment when a negligent driver is at fault. Let our Georgia car accident lawyers help.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims may be pursued by the surviving family members of the deceased to recover all associated damages for the loss of the person’s life. Such claims can be complex and require the establishment of an estate and court appointed administrator. It is important that these claims are handled appropriately so that all categories of damages may be pursued, to include any pain and suffering endured in the moments leading to a person’s death. A Georgia car accident lawyer can help you in claiming the medical costs, funeral costs, and emotional trauma from losing a loved one.
Brain Injury
Brain injury cases can involve weeks of severe headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Fortunately, most cases resolve with the symptoms. More serious cases can be permanent and present life-long limitations.
