Examples of Common Injuries in Gainesville Bus Accidents
When a smaller vehicle collides with a bus, serious injuries are usually inevitable. An NHTSA School Transportation Study shows that 70 percent of fatal bus crash victims were in another vehicle, 20 percent were pedestrians, and 9 percent were riding bicycles. Some of the injuries commonly sustained in a bus accident can include:
- Traumatic brain injuries can be as minor as a mild concussion or can result in major life-altering injuries causing cognitive losses, paralysis, and other long-term damage.
- Back, neck, and spine injuries - As with traumatic brain injuries, injuries to the back, neck, and spine can be severe and result in catastrophic lifestyle changes through paralysis or loss of motor function and earning capacity.
- Severe soft tissue tears and strains - Soft tissue injuries often lead to chronic pain, from which relief can be difficult or impossible to obtain.
- Shattered or fractured bones - The severity of bone injuries in bus accidents can lead to amputation or loss of function, resulting in loss of earning capacity or enjoyment of life.
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis - As noted above, injuries to the spinal cord can cause severe paralysis, including paraplegia and quadriplegia. Paralysis to this decree results in loss of enjoyment and quality of life, loss of earning capacity or the ability to work at all, and massive future medical and therapeutic costs.
- Internal damage - Internal damage can include damage to the spleen, kidneys, or pancreas and leave lifelong medical expenses behind.
- Loss of bodily functions - Severe injuries and paralysis can cause loss of bodily functions, requiring assistive care and creating loss of consortium.
- Severe Burns - Severe burns are not only major medical disasters in terms of their health and financial impact but also leave behind scarring and disfigurement, which can cause emotional and mood disorders.
- Nerve damage - Nerve damage can destroy the motor skills and dexterity required for many occupations, leading to lost earning capacity.
Any of these injuries alone can have life-changing consequences for the victim, but in the case of bus accidents, victims often suffer multiple injuries. Serious injuries can cause temporary or permanent disability, loss of independence, or an inability of the victim to care for themselves.
