Car accidents can be life-changing, leaving you dealing with physical pain, emotional stress, and financial strain. While no one plans for an accident, knowing the common injuries that happen can help you navigate the road to recovery. At Benavidez Law Firm, we’re here to guide you and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Head and Brain Injuries
Head injuries are no joke. From mild concussions to serious traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), these can have lasting effects on your health. If you’ve been feeling dizzy, having headaches, or noticing memory issues after an accident, don’t brush it off. Getting the right medical care—and fast—is critical.
Whiplash and Neck Strain
Whiplash is one of those injuries that sneaks up on you. Caused by the sudden back-and-forth motion of your neck in a crash, it can leave you with pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. It might seem minor at first, but untreated whiplash can lead to long-term discomfort. Always get it checked out.
Back and Spinal Cord Injuries
Back injuries can range from painful to life-altering. Herniated discs, fractures, or even nerve damage can result from a car crash. These injuries can affect your mobility and might require physical therapy, surgery, or long-term care. Don’t let a back injury keep you from living your life—document it and seek treatment.
Broken Bones and Fractures
The force of a collision can easily lead to broken bones—ribs, arms, legs, or even your pelvis. Recovery often involves surgeries or physical therapy. The costs can add up quickly, but a strong legal case can help you cover them.
Cuts, Bruises, and Soft Tissue Injuries
Seat belts, airbags, and shattered glass can leave their mark—literally. While cuts and bruises might heal, deeper soft tissue injuries like sprains or strains can stick around longer than you’d expect. These injuries can be painful and disruptive.
Emotional and Psychological Trauma
The effects of a car accident go beyond the physical. Anxiety, depression, and PTSD are common and can be just as disruptive. Don’t underestimate the importance of addressing these injuries—they matter too.
