ORLANDO, FL, October 01, 2010 (Press-News.org) A car accident can have a traumatic effect on a person both physically and emotionally and can change your life in just seconds of chaos. Injuries sustained in a car accident can be as minor as a bump on the head or as serious as paralysis or death. Make certain everyone who has been injured receives immediate medical attention if you are ever involved in a car accident because the welfare of the victims is your first priority.

Injuries That Occur Most Frequently
Car accidents can be responsible for many injuries including:
- Whiplash
- Brain and head trauma
- Spinal cord injuries
- Back injuries
- Leg and knee trauma
- Post traumatic stress disorder

Whiplash is the most common injury sustained in car crashes. The most life-threatening injuries are those to the head and brain, neck and spinal cord. Some injuries are not obvious immediately following a car accident and may take hours or days to appear, such as whiplash or a closed head trauma.

Many car accident victims face potentially life-long medical conditions as a result of their injuries because they did not seek medical attention immediately following an accident. You should seek medical attention after a car accident even if you think you have escaped unharmed. Even minor car accidents can result in devastating injuries that result in overwhelming medical bills and time lost from work.

Aggressive and Reckless Drivers
Every year aggressive and reckless drivers cause thousands of car accidents that result in injuries and deaths. The individuals responsible for the car accidents can be held legally liable for all damages that occur. Victims of car accidents have the legal right to pursue financial compensation for their medical expenses, loss of income and pain and suffering. There is no way to get back what was taken away from you by the carelessness of another driver, but recovering financial compensation is an important step in your healing process.

If you sustain an injury in a car accident in Florida, you are eligible to recover financial compensation for the full extent of your losses which can include present and future medical bills, the loss of present and future income and for your physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Please visit the website of the Orlando, Florida car accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Michael Barszcz, M.D., J.D. today (www.themdjd.com) who will focus on your case and the financial compensation you deserve and also understand how an automobile accident can affect your life forever.
