Common Injuries After A Car Accident
Car accidents can leave you with a wide range of injuries. While every accident is unique, there are some injuries we see more often than others. Here’s a rundown of common car accident injuries:
- Head and brain injuries (concussions, traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures)
- Neck and back injuries (whiplash, herniated discs, spinal cord injuries)
- Chest and abdominal injuries (broken ribs, internal organ damage, seat belt injuries)
- Limb injuries (fractures and breaks, soft tissue damage, amputations in severe cases)
- Psychological injuries (post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, sleep disorders)
These injuries can range from mild to severe, and some may not show symptoms immediately. That’s why it’s extremely important to get medical attention right after an accident, even if you feel fine.
As your attorney, I’ll work closely with your medical team to understand the full extent of your injuries and how they impact your life. This can help us build a stronger case for compensation for your recovery.
Seeking Compensation After An Accident
After a car wreck, you’re undeniably in shock. You never really expect to experience a car crash and get hurt. But now you’re in the hospital, facing mounting medical bills and other expenses. In personal injury cases, including car accidents, you have the right to receive compensation. This means you can seek financial recovery for various losses.
The types of compensation you can file a claim for include:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost income (wages and earning capacity)
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
These physical and emotional damages can help you get back on your feet. As your car accident lawyer, I’ll help build your case and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Sometimes, that can be easier said than done. But with clear communication and strong advocacy, I can navigate the complexities of your case and obtain fair compensation.
Factors That Affect Your Final Car Accident Settlement Amount
The state of Kentucky follows a “pure comparative fault” system. Under this system, you can still receive compensation even if you were partly at fault for the accident. However, your percentage of fault reduces your compensation.
Also, keep in mind that insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. This can lead to lower settlement offers. Without a car accident lawyer explaining the full value of your claim, you may unknowingly agree to a settlement that doesn’t fully cover your losses.
Another factor that affects your final settlement is the seriousness of your injuries. Some car accident injuries, such as brain or back injuries, need major medical care and keep you away from work for a very long time. As a result of these increased medical expenses and lost income, you’re likely to receive a larger settlement.
It makes sense – more doctor visits mean bigger medical bills, and if you can’t work, those lost paychecks add up fast. As a car accident lawyer, I’ll help you address all of these financial and personal impacts to maximize your compensation.
Strong evidence is also key to getting a fair settlement. The more proof we have of the accident and how it’s affecting you, the better. As your lawyer, I’ll gather everything we need – accident reports, medical records and witness statements – to demonstrate the negative impacts the car crash has had on your life.
