What Are The Most Common Severe Car Accident Injuries?

Neck pain is quite common. Back pain, shoulder pain, and persistent headaches are common, as well. These injuries may seem manageable at first glance, but the long-term effect on your well-being and quality of life can be considerable.

How Should I Document My Injuries?

If you or a fellow passenger notice any bleeding or bruising, be sure to photograph these injuries immediately before they heal, clot, or fade. If the airbag in your vehicle has deployed, be sure to photograph that, as well. Getting to urgent care, an emergency room, or a personal care physician on the same day of the accident will also be an important step in documenting your injuries.

Can I Receive Compensation For Lost Wages After A Car Accident?

Absolutely. If your injuries are severe and cause you to miss work, you can petition to be compensated for those lost wages. If you were injured as an Uber or Lyft driver, there are ways to be compensated by the platform.

In other cases, these lost wages would be sought from the other, at-fault party’s insurance company. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney can help you navigate this process and minimize the immediate financial loss to you and your family.

Is It Possible To Get Support Or Compensation For Mental Health Issues After A Severe Injury?

Absolutely. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder following a major accident is quite common. There are trained psychologists who can diagnose and document a range of mental health conditions, and psychological distress can definitely count towards the damages sought. Be sure to discuss your mental health concerns or symptoms with your attorney as you both document and discuss the aftermath of your accident.

Can I Represent Myself To The Insurance Companies?

If you attempt to represent yourself and seek damages without an attorney, the chances of you obtaining anything meaningful from the insurance companies are next to zero. These corporations do not like to pay money, even in severe and obvious cases.

Hiring an attorney and having your attorney handle the claim for you immediately takes your case to the next level in the insurance company’s eyes. They begin to pay attention, show some respect, and understand that they need to play more fairly. Your claim is then typically assigned to someone within the insurance company who has more experience and the authority to settle for larger amounts.

This translates to higher awards, more efficient communication, and a better outcome for you, the injured party.
