What Are Common Injuries After A Passenger Accident?

Passengers involved in vehicle accidents can sustain a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to more serious and life-threatening injuries. Here are some of the most common injuries that can occur after a passenger accident:

  • Whiplash: This is a common injury in car accidents where a sudden impact causes the head to jerk forward and then snap back. It can result in neck pain, headaches, and stiffness.
  • Broken bones: Fractured or broken bones can occur in any type of vehicle accident. The severity of the injury will depend on the location and type of bone that is fractured.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): This is a serious injury that can result from a blow to the head. It can cause a range of symptoms, from mild headaches and dizziness to more severe symptoms such as memory loss, cognitive impairment, and even coma.
  • Spinal Cord Injury: This type of injury can occur when the spinal cord is damaged or severed, resulting in partial or complete paralysis.
  • Internal injuries: These injuries can occur when organs such as the liver, spleen, or kidneys are damaged due to the impact of the accident. Internal injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
  • Cuts, lacerations, and bruises: These are common injuries in vehicle accidents and can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious lacerations that require stitches.

It’s important to seek medical attention after a passenger accident, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and early detection and treatment can help prevent long-term complications. If you have been injured in a passenger accident, it’s also important to seek the advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer to help you understand your legal options and pursue compensation for your injuries and other damages.

In January 2023 I was driving on the highway when traffic stopped abruptly. I was able to stop safely but the three vehicles behind me were not. My car was hit three times from behind. I was seriously jostled and had soft tissue damage as well as damage to my spine and joints that caused considerable pain and impaired mobility. I had no idea what to do.Kevin was referred to me. From our first call he took care of everything. He found doctors who would work on a lien basis. When chiropractic care had gone as far as it could, but I was still in pain, Kevin found specialists who were able to perform blocks that alleviated my pain and gave my body time to heal.When it came time for a settlement to be reached the insurance companies attributed the pain to my age (arthritis) even though I did not hurt before the accident. Kevin was an absolute wall of strength for me when I didn’t have the strength to stand up for myself. The process was long. It was adversarial. Kevin fought for me. In the end Kevin was able to secure a settlement that was nearly triple what the insurance companies said was their highest and best offer.Kevin knows his business. He cares about his clients. He is a fierce advocate, a compassionate ally and he is well versed in pain management treatments that work - far beyond the “rest and take naproxen for two days” that the urgent care doctor prescribed. I recommend The Law Office of Kevin Hatanian without reservation.
