Common Car Accident Injuries

November 8, 2021 by Lyle Long
Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents hurt. They hurt you physically, financially, and they can also hurt you emotionally. 

According to the 2020 crash report, there were 341,399 car accidents reported in Florida, with 212,432 of them resulting in an injury and 3,332 were fatal.

Our compassionate and caring car accident team is here to help you 24/7. Schedule your free consultation today. There is no fee unless we win. Let us fight for you. 

Avoiding, preventable car accidents

By simply paying 100% attention to the road, we could significantly reduce the number of car accidents that occur each year and, in the process, save thousands of lives. Another easy action to take is to wear your seatbelt properly. A surprising amount of injuries sustained in a car accident could have been avoided if those involved had been wearing a seatbelt.  

5 Common car accident injuries 

A car accident is never a situation someone wants to find themself in. Unfortunately, car accidents are an extremely common occurrence – especially in Florida. Nearly every year, you can find Florida in the top 10 list of states with the most car accidents. 

This is a list of some of the most common injuries sustained in a car accident. 

_____

Bruises and soft tissue injuries 

Bruises are rarely considered a severe injury, and they often heal by themselves within a few days or weeks, but they can still cause pain and discomfort that makes it difficult to move freely. However, soft tissue damage such as sprains, strains, and injuries to tendons, muscles, and ligaments can be long-lasting and very painful. Severe soft tissue injuries can also have life-altering effects. 

Whiplash 

Whiplash is one of the most common car accident injuries, and it occurs when your neck and head are suddenly forced forward and backward or vice versa. This sudden movement can lead to various muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries and can cause pain to radiate to other areas in the body like your shoulders and back. Symptoms of whiplash can include neck pain, stiffness, reduced range of motion, neck instability, shoulder pain, back pain, and numbness in the neck, shoulders, and arms. 

Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

These types of injuries can be fatal or have life-altering effects. A concussion is a type of TBI. Many people often injure or hit their heads during a car accident. This impact can leave them with a concussion or worse. After sustaining any head injury – even if you believe it is minor – you should always seek medical attention as soon as possible.  

Fractured or broken bones 

The impact of a car accident can put your overall body and bones under overwhelming physical stress that can lead to bones fracturing or breaking. Bones that often break in a car accident include your legs, arms, ribs, and ankles. The severity of the injury depends on many factors, including the car you’re in, the speed you or the other car was going at the time of impact, where your limbs were located at the time of impact, and many more. Serious compound fractures can become very serious and often require surgery to fix. 

Neck and back injuries 

The human spine contains an amazing network of vertebrae, nerves, joints, ligaments, and muscles that work together to help support your entire body. However, the spine is not equipped to deal with heavy impacts, so excess strain, pressure, or stress placed on the spine can result in very serious injuries with life-altering or potentially fatal effects.  

Common car accident causes in Florida.

By population, Florida is the third-largest state in the U.S. and has a population density of 409, making Florida one of the most densely populated states. This can make driving particularly more risky. Distracted driving is by far the leading cause of car accidents nationwide, and when someone is driving, and they are distracted in a densely populated region, their odds of being involved in a car accident with another car or pedestrian increases significantly. 

An important note to consider about car accidents in Florida is that Florida is home to many senior citizens nearing or in retirement. Research suggests senior citizen-related car accidents and teens account for nearly the same amount of accidents each year. 

Common car accident causes include:

  • Distracted driving: Examples include texting while driving and streaming while driving.
  • Excessive speeding 
  • Drunk driving (DUI) 
  • Reckless driving 
  • Not obeying traffic laws

Ryan and Helen were very thorough and diligent with my case. This was my first time having to hire for this type of service and am honestly thrilled to have been referred to such a diligent, efficient and caring team. They made sure to stay in touch and keep me updated all throughout my case. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you all for your excellent care.

Very good, professional and responsible lawyer. His office was in contact with me every time they had new information. Step by step Mr. Alex Jean would explain to me what is going on with my case. I didn’t have to wait for years for results. So far from what I hear from other people about their cases Mr. Alex Jean is the best. And I will reference my family and friends you and thank you so much

Ryan Wechsler is by far one of the best lawyers around. He gave me the assurance that everything was going to be okay. He is a very professional, respectful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an honest lawyer. His entire team (Daniela & Helen) was amazing. Very pleasant and kept me up to date every step of the way during my case. Ryan fought hard for me! I’m very thankful for all of his hard work and everyone at Long, Jean & Wechsler. If you’re ever in need of a great legal team give them a call.

Lyle was a pleasure to work with, he delivered on his promises. He was very prompt with his responses and very helpful when we first touched base. I’d definitely take him again on any relevant case.

I hired Alex Jean for a personal injury case and little did I know I was going to get world class treatment.I was referred to the best Chiropractors in Miami and then when I moved to St.Pete the LJW team had great connections there too.My Tesla is as good as new, my back is recovering and not to mention the settlement from the insurance. If I didn’t hire them I’d still be trying to recover money from insurance to fix my car.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a personal injury attorney I 100% recommend Alex Jean and the team at LJW.

Ryan Wechsler is an excellent attorney. He worked tirelessly on my case, which was a difficult one to begin with. When other attorneys were given me issues to take my case, he was the only one that was reassuring and determine to seek justice for me. I completely trusted his counsel. Had it not been for Mr. Wechsler I would have accumulated a lot of debt. I am forever grateful that he accepted my case.

Ryan and the team are absolute rock stars! I got a recommendation from a good friend to use them, and I was not disappointed. They solved my issue with one strong letter and avoided a bad situation and lots of time and $$$ saved. I will definitely be using them again if the need ever arises.

Very good firm. I had an unusual case. A crane dropped on my car the week of Christmas. Considering the fact my accident occurred during the holiday season, Lyle and his paralegal, Helen, ensured that I received treatment the same day, got a rental, and even settled my case in less than 6 months.They were extremely polite, communicative, and on top of everything. I highly recommend reaching out to them for great legal representation.

I highly recommend Lyle Long and his firm. Additional to a very very good settlement amount, Lyle and his staff were a pleasure to work with. Lyle walked me through the entire process from the moment I contacted him regarding my automobile accident. They were excellent with communication, returning my calls/emails and keeping me informed with updates and progress. Unfortunately, this is my 2nd time hiring his firm. My first experience was that positive that I never thought about hiring another firm to handle my legal matter.

I got Into an accident 8/13/2021. A friend of mine told me to contact Ryan, I reached out to him the day after my accident ( which happened to be a weekend day ) and he immediately got right on the case. He was very helpful and I was literally able to reach out to him by phone or text any day and any time. He is always available. He set me up for all of my medical treatment and made sure I understood the whole entire process. He’s a great lawyer and is really on your side. My case was resolved in 4 months and my settlement was way more than I expected. I couldn’t be more thankful for him and his staff. They are excellent.Thank you Ryan,Latia J
