    Common injuries in a car accident

    It can be difficult to anticipate the severity of an injury following a vehicle crash. Seemingly minor accidents involving slow-moving cars can still lead to devastating injuries under the wrong conditions. In severe crashes, the injuries could have permanent consequences. Understanding the nature of car accident injuries could provide you with insight into the viability of your claim. Some common examples of injuries in a car accident include:

    • Broken bones and bruises
    • Concussions
    • Neck injuries
    • Shoulder injuries
    • Internal bleeding
    • Burns
    • Eye injuries
    • Amputation
    • Tendon or ligament injuries
    • Cuts and lacerations

    If you have suffered an injury in a crash, our Carrollton car accident lawyers could represent your best chance to get the compensation you deserve.

    Damages available in a car crash lawsuit

    If a car accident lawsuit is ultimately successful, the jury will award the injury victim with monetary damages. These damages can take many forms. They could compensate an injury victim for their medical bills, or cover unpaid bills due to time away from work.

    There are two basic types of damages in an injury lawsuit: economic damages and non-economic damages. The value of economic damages is measurable. This means a Carrollton car accident lawyer could establish the value of these damages through evidence like hospital bills or vehicle repair invoices. Non-economic damages are speculative. They are designed to compensate an accident victim for intangible damages like pain and suffering. Following an accident, an injury victim could recover both types of compensation.

    Common types of damages recovered in a car crash lawsuit include:

    • Past and future medical bills
    • Lost wages
    • Diminished future earnings
    • Pain and suffering
    • Disfigurement
    • Loss of consortium
    • Emotional distress
    • Car repair expenses

    What Our Clients Say

    "The staff at Rutter Mills worked for me from the first minute I was in their office. They called and emailed every week and kept better records than I did. I was injured and had to undergo two operations from the accident. The recovery period was long with many physical therapy sessions over the next year. The staff emailed me many times, asking if there was anything they could do to make me feel better during my recovery. During this time my attorney was active in filing the paperwork for court litigation, but was contacted by the other law firm that wished to discuss settling my case. Depositions were done and the final one was scheduled and I was present to complete that phase of the case. My attorney got a maximum award for me and I will be forever grateful for his and their staff's work and attention during my time of legal need. Rutter Mills will be my only call if I ever need legal representation in the future." ★★★★★ -Dan, Rutter Mills Client
