Severe car accidents may cause chronic pain and permanent damages and injuries requiring long-lasting medical treatments and care. Although a car accident can be over within seconds, the chronic pain and damages resulting from such accidents have an enduring impact on the victim.

If you are a victim of any car accident due to the negligence of others, you must immediately talk to a car accident lawyer. The lawyer would assess the facts and conditions of your car accident case and help you get the financial compensation for your injuries after discussing with your insurance company on your behalf.

Types and Causes of Car Accidents

Most of the car accidents occur due to the following reasons which may result in catastrophic injury:

•    Speeding

•    Use of cellphone while driving

•    DUI (Driving under the influence) of alcohol

•    Dishonoring traffic signals

•    Failing to yield right-of-way

•    Taking inappropriate turns on curved sections

•    Driving when fatigued

•    Not using turn signals

•    Sudden lane changes

•    Not driving according to the weather conditions

Catastrophic Injuries in Car Accidents

Severe catastrophic injuries may result from head-on collisions or high-speed side-impact at intersections. The most common catastrophic injuries sustained in car accidents include:

•    TBI (Traumatic brain injuries)

•    Spinal Cord Injury

•    Fractures or damaged bones

•    Paralysis

•    Permanent scarring

•    Death

Usually, catastrophic injuries result in a long hospital stay, extensive physical therapy, surgeries, medical treatment, and long-term care at the rehabilitative center. You must seek help from your personal injury lawyer for getting compensation in such cases.

Soft Tissue Injuries and Damages

Even though soft tissue injuries do not involve damaged bones, they cause unbearable pain sometimes requiring long-term physical therapy and treatment.

Usually, your insurance company will try to deny the seriousness of such injuries and underestimate your case. An experienced personal injury attorney can help strengthen your case and get maximum compensation possible.

Pain and Suffering Damages

If you are a victim of car accident, the painful soft tissue and chronic injuries can seriously impact your ability to work and perform daily activities. In some cases, the injuries may also prevent you from participating in recreational and sports activities.

You are entitled to a compensation for all of the factors including the pain that you suffer, the inconvenience, and the inability to live a normal life post-accident. Contact your personal injury attorney to find out how you much you could claim in you case.

Proving Chronic Pain and Suffering Damages

If you are a victim of a car accident and suffer chronic pain and damages, the unconvinced adjusters at your insurance company may allege that you are faking the pain. They may also argue that no concrete findings support your stated pain levels.

The adjusters may look for various excuses to underestimate the severity of your injuries in order to avoid fulfilling your insurance claim. An expert car accident lawyer would produce the medical proof for proving that the chronic injuries and damages have resulted from the accident. Testimonies from medical experts would strengthen your case and help you obtain maximum compensation.

A serious car accident may cause long-term injuries including the time that you would not be able to work.
