Car accident injuries
Some car accident injuries are relatively minor, and the person recovers after a short time and goes on with his or her life. Many motor vehicle injuries, however, are very serious, leading to a long period of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and the inability to work. In the most severe cases, impairment or disability is permanent, and there is no return to normal life or employment. Serious car accident injuries may include:
- Amputation
- Burns
- Disfigurement
- Internal organ damage
- Multiple fractures
- Paralysis
- Traumatic brain injury
Why you need a personal injury lawyer
After a car accident, it is likely the insurance company will contact you within days. The insurer may even offer what sounds like a reasonable settlement for your injuries. Never make a statement to an insurance adjuster or accept a settlement offer before consulting a car accident lawyer.
Insurance companies want to pay out as little as possible in compensation for injuries. That is their business model. Any statement you make to them, no matter how innocuous, could end up being held against you when it comes to settling a claim. When a person suffers severe injuries, they usually have little idea of how long and difficult the recovery may prove and may not take into consideration the many needs they will have.

For example, a permanently disabled person may require vehicle and housing modification, special equipment, and other necessities over the long term. An attorney knows the fair settlement amount for the type of injuries the client is dealing with, as well as the long-term prognosis.
If the insurance adjuster wants to question you about the accident, tell him or her that your attorney is handling the matter.
