We represent auto and motorcycle accident victims with a wide variety of personal injuries, including (but not limited to):
Whiplash
Injury victims of an auto accident often experience whiplash which is due to strain or a sprain occurring in the soft tissue of the neck. Pain may occur immediately after the accident or delayed over time. Whiplash can cause neck stiffness, shoulder or back pain, headache, dizziness, or damage to cervical muscles and intervertebral joints, discs and ligaments.
Broken Bones
A bone will split or break due to excessive pressure or a blow to the body. A broken bone is an emergency situation that can cause extreme pain and bleeding, and can lead to impaired movement and permanent disability.
Brain Injury
A severe blow to the head can cause a disruption of the normal function of the brain, resulting in bleeding and other physical damage that can cause a long-term injury or death. Anyone who has experienced trauma to the head should seek immediate medical attention.
Spinal Cord Injury
Damage to the spinal cord is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to lessen the effects. A spinal cord injury is usually caused by an incident that fractures or dislocated the vertebrae, which can cause a disruption of the signals between the body and the brain, potentially causing paralysis.
Wrongful Death
When someone is killed due to the negligence of another, the incident is legally referred to as a wrongful death. Surviving family members may be eligible for compensation to cover medical costs, funeral bills, pain and suffering, and other losses.
