Our Kentucky Personal Injury Law Firm Can Help With Your Car Accident Case

Car accidents happen every day in Williamsburg and throughout Kentucky. Many people suffer injuries in these accidents due to someone else’s inattention or negligence behind the wheel. Worse, many victims lose out on the compensation due to them because they never contact a car accident lawyer to fight for them.

If you’ve been in a car accident, it’s in your best interests to consult with a personal injury lawyer. Injuries from an auto accident can affect your life and finances for quite some time, and you shouldn’t be responsible for them. Insurance can offer you a settlement, but typically an insurance company will offer the lowest settlement possible, and your attorney works to get that settlement higher and, if necessary, go to court on your behalf.

Types of Car Accident Injuries

Because of the many ways a car accident can happen (rear end collision, head-collision, hit from the side, car flipping over, etc.), many different injuries can occur from a car accident — ranging from mild to severe to fatal. Following are some of the more common kinds.

• Neck injuries are extremely common after a car accident. The impact of a sudden stop can cause the head to whip back and forth, causing neck strain or whiplash. More severe cases include disc or vertebrae damage.
• Head injuries, typically closed head injuries, include concussions or TBIs (traumatic brain injuries). These happen when the brain is shaken inside the skull from the impact of an auto accident.
• Back injuries include strains or more serious injuries like spinal damage. Car accidents can leave victims in pain with something like a herniated disc or, worse, paralyzed.
• Fractures and broken bones can occur from rollovers, the steering column or dashboard pushing in, or other structural damage from the accident.

Additionally, seat belts and airbags can cause injuries. Faulty or defective seat belts can result in broken ribs, internal bleeding, or even being thrown from the vehicle. Airbags can fail to deploy, deploy at the wrong time, or release harmful chemicals that can burn the skin or eyes. The force and impact of an airbag can even cause a cardiac contusion or heart attack.

Car accidents can also cause facial injuries like burns, lacerations, and scarring. You don’t have to deal with these issues on your own. You deserve compensation for your pain and suffering. Get in touch with a car accident attorney as soon as possible.
