Car accidents can cause significant injuries. If you were hurt in a crash and believe that someone else’s negligence was to blame, you may want to sue them for damages. A Monmouth County car accident lawyer can tell you what steps you need to take to hold them accountable. We are ready to help you fight for compensation that can make up for the costs associated with your injuries and the accident.
What Types of Injuries Can Car Accidents Cause?
Car accidents can cause all kinds of minor and serious injuries. Depending on the severity of the collision, victims could end up with injuries like:
- Cuts and scrapes
- Broken or fractured bones
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury, like concussions
- Organ damage
- Nerve damage
- Disfigurement
- Loss of a limb
Such accidents can also result in lasting mental health issues, like anxiety or PTSD. These ailments should also be considered when fair compensation is being calculated.
Should I See a Doctor Even If I Don’t Seem to Have Injuries?
It’s always a good idea to see a doctor after a car accident, even if you don’t feel like you’re hurt. It can be hard to diagnose yourself with injuries, especially in the immediate aftermath of a crash. This whole experience can be stressful and that can make it harder to notice any symptoms of an injury right away. Talk to your doctor and make sure that nothing is wrong before you settle your claim.
Can Low-Speed Crashes Cause Injuries?
Even low-speed collisions can cause injuries. The main thing to worry about with low-speed crashes is usually whiplash. This is a spine and neck injury that tends to manifest after a rear-end collision. When you get hit from behind, your head can shoot forward and then “whip” back. This can cause neck pain, stiffness, and a whole host of other problems that don’t go away easily. So see a doctor even if your crash happened at a low speed.
Can I Sue For Future Medical Expenses?
Of course, your future medical expenses should also be a part of the conversation. If you are going to need additional medical treatments or physical therapy, that should be factored in when compensation is being calculated. Some injuries from a car crash can cause months or even years of complications. If someone else’s negligence caused the crash, then they should also be responsible for paying your future medical expenses.
