Even a seemingly minor car accident can cause serious injuries, and if your crash was clearly caused by someone else then that person needs to be held accountable. Talk to a Corpus Christi, Texas car accident lawyer from our firm and tell us about your injuries and what you have experienced. We can help you fight for the compensation that you deserve.
What Types of Injuries Can Car Accidents Cause?
Some are lucky enough to walk away from car accidents with minor injuries. Others are affected for life. Motor vehicle crashes can cause:
- Broken bones
- Facial trauma
- Scars and disfigurement
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Concussions and other brain injuries
- Nerve damage
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Loss of a limb
Any of these injuries can result in a stack of medical bills and plenty of other expenses. Why should you have to pay these bills when you weren’t the one who caused this car accident?
Should I See a Doctor Even If I Don’t Have Obvious Injuries?
It’s always a smart move to see a doctor after a car accident. This is true even if you do not feel like you have any injuries. You are stressed from the situation and adrenaline is running through your system. That can make it tough to diagnose yourself in the moment.
Going to a doctor allows you to get an accurate appraisal of your injuries. This also takes a potential line of attack away from the insurance company. When claimants do not go to the doctor right away, they can try to claim that the injuries were not that serious or that they were sustained sometime after the accident with their insured driver.
Can I Sue Over Emotional and Mental Trauma?
Car accidents can also result in trauma along with physical injuries. If you have been injured in a car crash and you are also experiencing symptoms of anxiety or PTSD, that matters. If you are depressed or suffering from other mental health issues after a crash, your compensation needs to address that.
Unfortunately, you can usually only sue over these kinds of symptoms if you have also been physically injured in a crash. Our lawyers can tell you more if you have questions about this.
Can I Sue For Future Medical Expenses?
If your injuries are going to continue to cause health problems, your future medical expenses certainly need to be part of the conversation. If you are going to need additional treatments or plan to try physical therapy and rehabilitation services, your compensation should help you with those costs. You are only incurring these expenses because of the car accident, so your settlement from the car accident should be calculated with these costs in mind.
