What Are the Most Common Injuries in Accidents?

Because accidents can happen in all kinds of ways, they also can produce a variety of injuries that range from minor to catastrophic – from injuries that can cause you to miss a few days of work, to those that put you out of your line of work completely and require lifelong treatment.

Injuries that you can suffer from include:

Cuts and abrasions
Whiplash, a common injury sustained after a car accident
Sprains and fractures
Broken bones
Burns
Neck and spinal cord injuries
Brain and head injuries
Mental trauma
Amputations
Paralysis
Death
Loss of senses including eyesight and hearing

Even if your injuries aren’t serious, you still deserve to seek justice for what you’ve had to go through. We believe that those responsible for causing injuries should own up to their mistakes.

How We Can Help

While injuries are already enough to suffer from and cope with, unfortunately, another result of accidents is that you have to pay for any damages. When you become injured after an accident, you might acquire medical bills from receiving treatment or staying in the hospital, which can be difficult to pay when you’ve missed work as a result.

You shouldn’t be held responsible for your financial burdens. Our team strives to seek justice for injured clients by recovering damages from those who caused your accident, and we’re not afraid to go up against large corporations if they’re the ones guilty.

You can trust our years of experience to help you recover from:

Medical bills
Lost wages from work
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Funeral costs (if your loved one passed away)
Loss of income if your deceased loved one was providing for your family

Are Personal Injury Settlements Taxed?

Not all settlements are taxed, but some may be. Typically a settlement is taxed because the money collected for the damages done is viewed as a form of income. Visit our blog to learn more about personal injury claims being considered taxable income.
