Common Injuries Seen in Car Accident Cases

Injuries suffered in car accidents can vary in type and severity. In many situations, an individual may walk away with minor cuts and bruises or a broken bone or two. In other, more catastrophic accidents, the victim may not walk away at all. When you meet with your Cypress personal injury lawyer from Easton & Easton, we can go over your medical records, determine the type of injury you suffered, and, with this information, calculate the maximum amount of compensation available.

The most common kinds of injuries we see suffered by car accident victims include:

  • Cuts, bruises, lacerations. Some of the most common injuries seen in car accident cases are minor. In many cases, victims may walk away from the scene of the accident with cuts and scrapes due to shattered glass or plastic or metal fragments caused by the accident.
  • Burn injuries. Many car crashes can also result in burn injuries, ranging in severity. These can be the result of hot metal on certain vehicle components, explosions, or fires.
  • Tissue damage. In many car accidents, tissue damage is not always immediately obvious. This is one of the many reasons why seeking medical attention, even if you do not feel injured, is wise.
  • Fractured or broken bones. Fractures or broken bones can range in severity after a car accident but can be some of the most serious forms of injuries. Arms and legs are especially vulnerable in a crash situation. Ribs may also crack under the pressure of seatbelts when impact occurs, and facial bones, such as your nose, cheekbones, and jaw, can all fracture due to the impact from airbags or dashboards.
  • Spine and back injuries. These injuries are some of the most devastating and serious. Depending on the severity of your car collision, injuries to the spinal cord can have a lasting impact, causing you to become temporarily or permanently disabled.
  • Internal injuries. The impact of a car wreck can rupture certain organs, including your liver, spleen, and kidneys, and can even cause your lungs to become punctured or collapsed, should the bones around your lungs fracture. The impact can also cause trauma to the intestines. These injuries can be difficult to diagnose at the scene and can include symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bruising, and difficulty breathing.
  • Head injuries or brain trauma. Concussions are the most common form of brain injury in car accident cases. These happen when the brain is jostled around inside the skull on impact. The most severe cases can include bleeding on the brain or bruising of the brain’s delicate tissue. The symptoms of a brain trauma injury can include slurred speech, falling into a coma, seizures, and loss of consciousness.
  • Amputations or limb loss. Though often rare in car accident cases, amputations or the loss of a limb still happen in the most severe situations. Amputations may occur as a direct result of the accident or become medically necessary at the hospital due to severe tissue damage or uncontrolled bleeding.

How Our Attorneys Can Help

You might wonder why hiring a personal injury or car accident lawyer in Cypress, CA is necessary. While it is not legally required that you hire a lawyer during the course of any potential accident claim, their knowledge and experience can prove vital in gaining a favorable outcome or settlement. These cases can be extremely difficult and offer plenty of challenges that can feel impossible to face on one’s own.

At Easton & Easton, we have helped our clients gain millions of dollars in compensation after being injured in negligent or reckless car accidents. We understand the common causes of these accidents and how that will play into determining liability.

We have a proven track record of success and have helped thousands of clients over the years. Now, we turn our attention to you and your case. It’s time to fight for the compensation and justice you deserve after your accident.

Determining fault, or liability, will be the cornerstone of your car accident case. If this is not seen as soon as possible, evidence may fade and it can become increasingly difficult for liability to be assigned. That is why hiring an attorney as soon as you possibly can is so vital. At Easton & Easton, our attorneys can review all available details regarding your accident and can even investigate the accident further to glean our own sources of evidence.

Using this evidence, your attorney needs to determine legal liability by demonstrating the following elements:

  • The defendant, or liable party, owed you a certain duty of care.
  • Through negligence or reckless behavior, that duty was breached.
  • Your injuries were caused by that breach of duty.
  • You have suffered certain losses or damages as a result of these injuries and breach of duty.

This can sound rather complicated, and it can prove to be, which is why hiring an attorney is the correct idea when facing a personal injury claim.

Major Causes of California Car Accidents

There are several causes for car accidents in California, many of which could be avoided and are due to human error. Your attorney can review the details of your case in order to determine the exact cause and, in doing so, uncover liability and assign this liability to a specific party. The most common causes of car accidents in California include:

  • Distracted driving, such as operating a motor vehicle while texting, otherwise on your phone, adjusting the radio or temperature controls, interacting with passengers in your vehicle, reaching for something in the vehicle, or eating, drinking, or grooming while driving.
  • Reckless driving, such as speeding, tailgating, racing, violating certain traffic laws, and expressing signs of aggression or road rage.
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which is not only illegal but can lead to severe crashes and even fatalities.
  • Poor road conditions, which can occur when the governing body or local municipality in charge of maintaining roadways is neglectful, and potholes, loose gravel, or cracked and missing pavement lead to accidents.

Ashlee A.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
