What Injuries Can You Get From A Car Accident?

Whenever you are involved in any type of car accident, it is vitally important to notify law enforcement immediately and to seek medical attention for your injuries. Even a seemingly minor collision can end up causing serious damages, leaving you with symptoms that can take days or even weeks to appear. Not seeking medical help could endanger your health and your rights in a claim. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) warns that the medical costs associated with even a minor fender bender can run up to tens of thousands of dollars. The more severe your accident was, the more likely you are to suffer economic impacts both now and in the years to come. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our Calabasas car accident attorneys help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical costs, lost wages, and other expenses. Common types of injuries suffered by clients in cases we represent include:

• Severe cuts and lacerations;
• Soft tissue injuries, such as muscle or tendon strains, sprains, and tears;
• Broken bones and dislocated joints;
• Back and neck injuries, such as whiplash and herniated discs;
• Crushing injuries, which can do damage to body parts and internal organs;
• Head injuries, such as concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI);
• Spinal cord injuries, resulting in partial or complete paralysis.

What Happens When You Get In A Car Accident And It Is Not Your Fault?

When car accidents happen, it is often the reckless driving behaviors of other motorists which are ultimately to blame. At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, we help you hold at-fault drivers accountable for the following:

• Speeding and going too fast for conditions;
• Running red lights and disregarding other traffic signs or signals;
• Aggressive driving behaviors, such as tailgating and failure to yield;
• Distracted driving, such as using cell phones or texting while behind the wheel;
• Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other substances.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) advises that all motorists are required to maintain a minimum amount of auto insurance coverage to protect others in the event of crashes and collisions in which they are at-fault. Unfortunately, dealing with these companies can prove challenging. As experienced Calabasas car accident attorneys, we provide the aggressive legal representation you need when filing a claim, helping you get the maximum amount you are entitled to in your settlement.

What If The Other Driver Is Uninsured?

At Harris Personal Injury Lawyers, our legal team can protect your rights and aggressively negotiate with insurers on your behalf. In cases where a reasonable settlement cannot be reached or the at-fault driver was uninsured, we can guide you in filing a lawsuit against them. Compensation available in this type of claim includes:

• Economic damages, which cover actual costs such as repairs or replacement of your vehicle, current and future medical expenses, and any lost wages or future losses in earnings you experience;
• Non-economic damages, which cover intangible costs, such as your pain and suffering;
• Punitive damages, which is an additional amount the judge may order to punish the at-fault driver for particularly reckless and willful behavior.
