You may be suffering from a serious injury
Several types of injuries are common after an automobile accident. They can include the following:
- Whiplash. One of the most frequent kind of injuries the Lourie Law Firm sees when dealing with Columbia car accident injuries is whiplash. Most often a result of rear-end collisions, pain and limited mobility can result from the damage/strain to muscles and ligaments in the neck. Symptoms may be temporary, permanent, or intermittent.
- Soft tissue damage. Rib fractures and punctured internal organs (such as heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys) are among those not apparent from the outside, but they could indicate major danger to the life of the victim.
- Limb injuries. Surgery, casts, and months of physical therapy can all result from limb injuries, such as bone breaks and fractures.
- Back/spinal cord injuries. Several of the most debilitating injuries can occur due to damage to the back and spinal cord. Discs in the neck, mid-back, and lower-back can suffer compression fractures, and compression to the spinal cord can leave you permanently disabled or in need or major surgery or surgeries.
- Brain/head trauma. Blows to the head range from a concussion to TBI (traumatic brain injury). Typical complications include skull fractures and nerve damage. Any injury to the head carries the possibility of lifelong pain and brain function impairment. Sometimes, at a minimum, long-term rehabilitation is necessary to recover lost capabilities.
