A car accident can cause any kind of bodily injury, ranging from the minor to devastatingly severe.

2012-09-27

ORLANDO, FL, September 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) A car accident can cause any kind of bodily injury, ranging from the minor to devastatingly severe. Sometimes, car accidents can be fatal. Because of the severity of injuries, accidents can alter the course of your life and also affect the lives of other people in your family. These injuries may require lifetime treatment and may prevent you from working.

Car Accident Claim Injuries

Accidents can cause many different kinds of injuries, to passengers of all ages and in any kind of car. In addition to cuts and bruises, common car accident injuries include:

- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Amputations
- Back and neck injuries
- Scarring and disfigurement

These catastrophic injuries can occur within a short moment, the amount of time it may take for someone's careless driving to cause a collision.

If you did not cause the accident, you may also suffer a great deal of emotional injury. Pain and suffering may be added to the physical toll of your injuries.

Possible Effects of Accident Injuries

The cost of treating these injuries can be catastrophic. Your hospital bills are likely to be expensive, and you may need ongoing medical treatment in the future. Physical rehabilitation is often required to recover from these injuries.

These common car accident injuries may impact your professional life. The physical trauma caused by these injuries may make it impossible for you to perform your former job duties. You may be forced to find another job. You may be permanently disabled by your injury and unable to perform job duties of any kind, resulting in a lifetime out of work. You could lose wages and be unable to support your dependents.

If you have suffered an injury in a car accident that was not your fault, you deserve compensation. A compensation award can help you resolve the expense of your injury. An accident attorney can look at the details of your case and determine whether another driver's negligence contributed to the accident. Sometimes, a faulty vehicle or defective roadway may be responsible for a car accident. If the accident was not your fault, an attorney can pursue a settlement or possibly take your case to court to pursue maximum compensation.

More Drugged Driving Arrests in Ohio Highlight Need for Strong Defense

2012-09-27

Pretty much everyone knows about the 0.08 blood alcohol limit for driving in Ohio. But, alcohol intoxication is not the only form of impairment that concerns Ohio law enforcement officers. Drugged driving charges are becoming increasingly common in the Buckeye State.

Child Custody: Shared or Customized?

2012-09-27

A Case-By-Case Determination Many individuals believe that subsequent to a divorce, children should split time equally between parents. At first, it may appear fair for parents to share guardianship of their children. However, when making a child custody decision, family law courts generally review matters on a case-by-case basis. Specifically, courts look to the "best interests" of children when making custody determinations. However, this does not mean that in all cases equal parenting is in the best interests of a particular child. What is in the best ...

No Signs of Trouble? Warrantless Searches By Police Unlawful in New Jersey

2012-09-27

Police make quick decisions during potentially dangerous situations every day. Officers must be wary of their surroundings when responding to emergency or community care-taking calls, for example when called regarding missing persons or the possibility of domestic violence, in addition to other possible illegal activity.
