Car Accident Injuries

Car Accident Lawyer

If you have been in a car accident and think you are unharmed, you must see a medical physician as soon as possible. You could have underlying injuries that show no symptoms now but worsen dramatically later. It is also vital that you contact Eric Roy Law Firm. Our Las Vegas car accident lawyer can help you receive the compensation you deserve, and the full amount, not just an initial settlement amount insurance providers may offer.

Four Most Common and Devastating Car Accident Injuries

  1. Airbag injuries: Inflatable airbags in steering columns, dashboards, and other parts of an automobile are designed to help reduce injuries sustained in car accidents. For the most part, airbags are miraculous tools that have saved many people’s lives. They can, however, become dangerous when they are defective, either not inflating at all during an impact or bursting without warning or cause. In recent news, millions of cars with Takata airbag deployment systems have been recalled due to the airbag’s tendency to explode, sometimes causing fatal injuries.
  2. Neck injuries (whiplash): When a negligent driver crashes into the backside of another vehicle – what is known as a rear-end collision – they force the car forward. At the same time, the occupants’ bodies resist the motion. This can cause a neck-snapping called whiplash, leading to lifelong consequences such as chronic pain or paralysis. Passengers in backseats with no headrests are generally more susceptible to whiplash injuries.
  3. Brain injuries: A blow to the head during a car accident is incredibly dangerous. What might feel like a mild headache now could indicate a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can become deadly if unaddressed. Once again, please see medical professionals immediately if you were in a car accident and struck your head.
  4. Spine injuries: Just as snapping can cause whiplash, it may also cause severe injury to a driver’s spinal cord. What could be considered a mild impact or injury to most other body parts can be paralyzing when it affects the spine. People with spine injuries often require rehabilitative treatment for the rest of their lives. Make sure the compensation you seek addresses this necessity.

Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the annual statistics gathered and analyzed, more than 30,000 Americans will lose their lives due to car accidents yearly. Although many more will be injured, the wrongful death of a loved one can be significantly more devastating for surviving family members, who must now attempt to cope with the loss. Suppose a loved one dies due to an accident caused by a negligent driver or defective auto part. In that case, Nevada State law allows spouses, children, and parents to file a wrongful death lawsuit for financial compensation. In addition to paying for medical costs related to the accident, the liable party should also provide monies to help pay for burials, funerals, loss of companionship, and expected income of the decedent had the car accident never occurred.
