To every client.

Car accidents can be devastating to anyone in Florida. Depending on the severity of the collision, a person can be left with injuries severe enough that it takes months or years to recover if they even do.

Traumatic brain injury

Motor vehicle accidents can easily leave victims suffering from a traumatic brain injury. When a person’s head hits a window, steering wheel, dashboard or airbag with high velocity or a projectile penetrates their skull, they develop this type of injury.

Spinal cord injuries

A car crash can result in severe trauma to a person’s spinal cord, leaving them suffering a slew of symptoms. Tingling or weakness may occur in the limbs. In some cases, damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis from the waist down or even the neck down. While some cases may only be temporary, others can be permanent, requiring a lifetime of care.

Burns

Some car accidents can leave victims suffering from severe burns and disfigurement. This can happen when a vehicle catches fire or chemicals spill and make direct contact with a person’s skin. In the worst-case scenario, skin grafting surgery might be necessary.

Amputation

A severe car accident can leave victims suffering from amputation injuries. A person can lose a limb or need it amputated through surgery if they sustain a crushing injury. This can leave them permanently disabled and needing long-term rehabilitation.

Internal injuries

Severe crashes can leave people dealing with internal injuries. These are often life-threatening and call for immediate emergency medical attention. Internal injuries occur when the victim’s body makes harsh contact with part of the vehicle or another object during a crash.

It’s wise to go to the emergency room after a car accident. You could be injured and not realize it for a period of time.
