Car Accident Injury

In car accidents, injuries can range from minor to severe. The most common are:

• Whiplash
• Broken bones
• Deep cuts and bruises
• Back injuries
• Internal bleeding 
• Traumatic brain injuries

Do not ignore any injury you sustain after a car accident, regardless of its severity. Instead, you should get checked by an auto accident doctor near you as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of the accident at the very latest.

Car accident injuries, like TBI or spinal injuries, can have lasting effects, potentially leading to chronic pain, mobility issues, or even long-term disability. The severity often depends on the nature of the accident and the individual's health prior to the incident.

First, seek immediate medical attention. Then, document everything related to your injury, including medical reports, expenses incurred, and how the injury has impacted your daily life. Finally, contact Morgan and Morgan for a free case evaluation to find out whether you might be owed some form of compensation.

Yes, it's always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor after a car accident, even if your injuries seem minor. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal trauma, might not show symptoms right away. Getting a medical evaluation also creates a record of your injuries, which can be important if you later decide to pursue a claim.

The at-fault driver's insurance company is usually responsible for compensating you, that is, if you have a valid claim. 

Even if the driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own insurance may cover some costs, depending on the terms of your policy. In some cases, other parties might be liable, too. Take, for example, a construction company that failed to put up warning signs on the road, causing an accident as a result, or a car part manufacturing company that manufactures defective parts, causing the vehicle to break down and cause an accident.

All these are possible liable parties in a car accident case. To find out who exactly might be liable, you should have your case reviewed by a car accident expert from our team.
