Many car accidents have the potential to cause life altering injuries. A car accident injury could range from something as simple as a black eye to more severe back injuries that can last a lifetime. Here or some of the most common types of car accident injuries reported across Florida!
Head Injuries
A head and brain injury from a car accident can be life altering. Collisions could cause your head to hit a window or cause conditions like concussions. Traumatic brain injuries can lead to months of recovery and this requires appropriate compensation.
Back injuries
A car accident that results in back injuries such as a lumbar sprain or herniated disc will also lead to ongoing pain, weakness, stiffness, muscle spasms and more. Back injuries can result in loss of sensation, nerve damage and a dependency on medication and physical therapy for the long term.
Broken Bones
Broken bones can require months of intensive rehabilitation. Broken limbs can also require surgery and months of healing.
Neck Injuries
Neck injuries like whiplash can include a number of symptoms including stiffness, headaches, dizziness, pain and ears ringing over time.
These are just a few of the most common types of car accident injuries that are commonly reported across the state of Florida. Working with an experienced personal injury attorney will help to ensure you can get access to the compensation you need if you are experiencing any serious side effects as a result of a car accident.
