PERSONAL INJURY I CAR ACCIDENTS I FAQ CAR ACCIDENTS I FREQUENTLY ASKED CAR ACCIDENT QUESTIONS – Common Personal Injuries Following a Car Accident and Why You Need an Accident Attorney

August 14, 2020

United States Car Crash Statics estimated roughly 6 million car crashes in 2019, this equates to approximately 16,438 car accidents a day. While some of these car accidents cause property damage exclusively, the vast majority result in bodily injuries giving rise to a potential personal injury claim.  Some personal injuries sustained in a traffic collision can be relatively minor and heal within a short period of time.  Other car accident injuries can be severe, debilitating and despite aggressive and consistent treatment an accident victim may be unable to recover.

Full recover following a car accident, if at all possible, depends on various factors.  Some of these factors include: (1) an accidents victims promptness to seek medical treatment immediately following the traffic collision; (2) an accident victims willingness and ability to follow a consistent medical protocol to treat sustained personal injuries; (3) an accidents victim’s age and preexisting health condition; and (4) whether an accident victim has a concurrent health issue which hinders recovery or aggravates sustained personal injuries.

Common Personal Injuries Following a Car Accident

Some personal injuries resulting from a car accident which tend to be more severe and debilitating include, hip and spinal injuries, psychological harm, shoulder and knee pain and possibly traumatic brain injury.  Common car accident injuries include:

1. Hip Pain following a Car Accident
2. Cervical Strain (whiplash), Herniated Disc and other Spinal Injuries following a Car Accident
3. Psychological Injuries following a Car Accident
4. Shoulder Pain following a Car Accident
5. Knee Injury following a Car Accident
6. TBI/Traumatic Brain Injury following a Car Accident.

Why You Need an Accident Attorney

Despite the fact that these are common car accident injuries, accident victims are often denied just compensation by insurance adjusters. If you were denied compensation or your claim was rejected by an insurance adjuster, it is necessary to contact an accident attorney to represent you and your rights.  Common grounds for denial include:

• The injuries resulting in the car accident were pre-existing;
• There was a lapse in time between the traffic collision and medical treatment;
• There was an alternate cause besides the car accident giving rise to the injuries;
• The treatment received for the car accident injuries were not necessary and/or unreasonable;
• The car accident injuries sustained were not mentioned to each and every treating medical provider’s records.

Some of these grounds for denial are persuasive and logical; however, most often adjusters fall back on these excuses even though it is not consistent with the records and facts in the case.  To avoid these frustrations and pitfall, if you were injured in a car accident it is best to promptly secure representation by an experienced accident attorney.
