Injuries Resulting from a Car Accident
Car accident injuries differ depending on the severity of the crash, the type of vehicle, and many other factors. Even low-speed collisions can generate enough force to cause serious damage when airbags deploy or drivers and passengers experience whiplash.
Any injury that was caused by no fault of your own may be grounds for a personal injury claim - you shouldn't have to pay for the damages.
Common types of injuries resulting from car accidents include:
- Head, neck, and spine injuries
- Brain injury or traumatic brain injury
- Burn injuries due to vehicle fire
- Disfigurement
- Cuts, scrapes, bruises, and other lesions
- Loss of limbs
If you or a passenger in your vehicle was involved in a car accident and sustained any of the injuries listed above, or if your family member was killed, come to Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm and learn how our skilled litigator can help you pursue your full compensation by filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
When you have been involved in a collision that was caused by no fault of your own, you owe it to yourself and your family to secure one of the most trusted car accident law firms in this region.
Do You Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident?
If you've been injured in a car accident, it's a good idea to reach out to a lawyer who offers free consultations. Even if you experienced minor injuries, you never know if they may turn into something more serious down the road. Getting a lawyer is especially important when dealing with an insurance company that blames you or isn't taking your injury seriously.
What to Avoid Following a Car Accident
After an accident, you may need the services of your insurance company to help cover the cost of your medical bills and repair or replace your vehicle. The insurance company may have a different idea of what the outcome of your claim should be. The insurance company is likely seeking to close the case for as little as possible.
Your conversations with the insurance company should be strategic. Try to avoid making statements that aren’t factual or are estimates like “I’m not injured” or “I was speeding.” You should also avoid accepting blame or discussing the accident with the insurance company of the others involved.
