You don’t have to handle your case on your own. Count on the Tampa car crash lawyers at Anderson & Anderson to assess your case and ensure you are properly compensated.

Car Crash Injuries

Car crash injuries can vary based on factors such as speed, impact to the vehicle, and where the victim was sitting when the accident took place. Also, the use of seatbelts and airbags can mitigate some of the damages.

Injuries can occur anywhere on the body. Here are some common ones:

  • Lacerations. These injuries are not too serious and may be caused by contact with other objects or by airbag deployment. Most lacerations heal on their own, although some may require stitches.
  • Head injuries. The impact of a crash can cause a person to hit their head on the steering wheel, dashboard, or side window. The result can be a concussion or more permanent brain damage.
  • Chest injuries. The chest can also hit the steering wheel and cause broken ribs and internal injuries.
  • Arm and leg injuries. Cars have limited space, making arm and leg injuries a real possibility in a crash. Arms and legs can be thrown all over the vehicle, causing broken bones and even amputations.
  • Burns. The impact of a crash can cause fires due to gas and other fluids in the vehicle. A person stuck inside the vehicle can become severely burned and even killed.
  • Soft tissue injuries. Whiplash is a common car accident injury, especially in rear-end accidents. This is due to the neck moving back and forth and causing muscles and ligaments to stretch.

When you think of injuries, you may think of physical ones. However, a car crash can also cause psychological effects. Many victims develop a fear of vehicles. Some have anxiety while driving or may develop depression or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can cause flashbacks, nightmares, and insomnia. A person may also lack focus and become easily distracted. However, proving PTSD requires expert witnesses, so seek legal help.
