Common Car Accident Injuries 

Since 2021, more than 1,700 car accidents were reported in Glastonbury, and nearly 500 of those resulted in injuries. That means that you can be at a greater risk of becoming injured in a car accident than you might realize, but the extent of your injuries can vary depending on the circumstances of the accident. 

These are a few common car accident injuries you should know about: 

• Whiplash: This is perhaps the most well-known car accident injury, caused by the sudden jerking motion of the head and neck in a collision. It can result in neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and even cognitive issues.
• Head injuries: These can range from mild concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Even if there are no visible signs of injury, it's important to monitor for symptoms like confusion, dizziness, nausea, or loss of consciousness.
• Broken bones: The impact of a car accident can easily cause fractures in various parts of the body, such as arms, legs, ribs, or the pelvis.
• Soft tissue injuries: These include bruises, sprains, and strains to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They might not be immediately apparent but can cause significant pain and discomfort later on.
• Internal injuries: Blunt force trauma from a car accident can damage internal organs, leading to serious complications if not promptly treated.
• Cuts and lacerations: Broken glass, metal, or other debris from the collision can cause cuts and lacerations, which may require stitches or even surgery to repair.
• Emotional trauma: Car accidents can also result in psychological injuries such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression, especially for those involved in severe accidents.

Seek medical attention after a car accident, even if injuries seem minor at first, because some symptoms may develop or worsen over time. After addressing your immediate medical needs, you should contact a car accident lawyer in Glastonbury to discuss legal options for seeking financial recovery. 

What Can I Recover with a Car Accident Injury Claim? 

In a car accident injury claim, the types of compensation you can recover depend on various factors that include the severity of your injuries and the circumstances of the accident.

There are a few common types of compensation you may be able to recover:

• Medical expenses: This includes reimbursement for medical treatment related to the accident, such as hospital bills, doctor's visits, surgeries, prescription medications, physical therapy, and any necessary medical equipment.
• Lost wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for the wages you've lost during your recovery period. This can also include compensation for any decrease in earning capacity if your injuries result in long-term disability or reduced ability to work.
• Pain and suffering: This type of compensation is meant to compensate you for the physical pain and emotional suffering you've endured as a result of the accident and your injuries. It's often calculated based on the severity of your injuries and the impact they have had on your life.
• Property damage: If your vehicle or other property was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the cost of repairs or the fair market value of the property if it was totaled.
• Loss of enjoyment of life: If your injuries have significantly impacted your ability to enjoy life's activities, hobbies, or relationships, you may be entitled to compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life.
• Permanent disability or disfigurement: If your injuries result in permanent disability or disfigurement, you may be entitled to compensation for the long-term effects on your quality of life and earning potential.
• Wrongful death: If a loved one is killed in a car accident, their surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, and lost financial support.

Consult with a qualified personal injury attorney who can assess your case and help you understand your rights and options for seeking compensation. They can also help you navigate the legal process and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.
