Types Of Injuries From Chicago Car Crashes

Almost any injury imaginable can happen when a person is involved in an auto accident. The sheer size, weight, and speeds involved can wreak havoc on the human body, breaking bones, damaging vital organs and crush the victim. Even when nothing is broken or lacerated, a hard impact can affect the spine and muscles, causing years of pain and suffering. Common injuries that occur from car accidents are:

• Fractures. Broken bones or fractures are common in car accident injuries. Arms, hands, and wrists are easily broken as the person tries to protect themselves, while clavicle, rib, and sternum fractures are common injuries of an impact.
• Traumatic brain injuries. Half of all traumatic brain injuries are sustained in auto accidents that can have long-term or permanent damage.
• Spinal cord injuries. Auto and motorcycle accidents are the most common cause of spinal cord injuries. These can cause paralysis, both complete and incomplete, below the area of the injury.
• Back and neck injuries. Strained muscles, compression fractures, and vertebrae injuries (disc herniations) are common in motor vehicle accidents, causing many types of back and neck problems.
• Whiplash. Rear end collisions are the most common cause of whiplash. Persons suffering from whiplash can have pain and discomfort for years after the injury. (Read about back and neck injuries here)

Medical Costs for Auto Accident Injuries

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that $99 billion was spent just in medical costs and loss of productivity costs in 2010 due to motor vehicle accidents. The long-term costs to the victims cannot always be weighed in dollars and cents. Many car accident survivors are left with permanent damage that can affect the quality of their lives and cause them anguish throughout their remaining years.

Beyond medical costs, victims of motor vehicle accidents can receive compensation to cover their damages including lost wages, rehabilitation, surgery, medical devices, pain, and suffering. Anyone who has been injured in an accident, regardless of who was at fault, should retain an attorney to make sure they are paid the compensation that they are entitled to receive. Most injuries are covered through auto insurance policies. However, having an experienced car accident injury attorney can make a huge difference in the amount of settlement the victims receive.
