Common Car Accident Injuries

Tuesday February 15, 2022

Even if you believe you were involved in a minor car collision, you might face serious, long-lasting health ramifications. It is wise to seek the counsel of an experienced personal injury lawyer. Headquartered in New Haven, the attorneys at Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, P.C., are prepared to represent injured clients throughout Connecticut.

Fighting For Fair Compensation for Car Accident Victims 

Depending on the type of collision, motor vehicle accidents can typically be categorized in one of four ways:

  • Rear-end collisions
  • Head-on collisions
  • Side impact collisions (T-bone collisions)
  • Vehicle rollovers

Each of these types of collisions can result in devastating injuries. Serious injuries can dramatically impact the finances of your entire family. As your law firm, it is our goal to recover the full and fair compensation you are owed based on lost wages, medical treatment, property damage, and pain and suffering. Trust us to fight for you through every stage of the legal process.

Different Types Of Auto Accident Injuries

Based on the size, speed and types of motor vehicles involved in an accident, injuries can range from minor to deadly. Our firm is prepared to represent clients facing common car accident injuries, such as:

  • Head injuries: Whether these are mild traumatic brain injuries (MTBIs) or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), the results can be devastating. Individuals can suffer from chronic headaches, blurred vision, personality changes, and loss of memory.
  • Neck injuries: The jarring motion of a vehicle collision can result in serious injuries at the top of the spine. Whether it is a soft tissue injury such as whiplash or cervical sprain, or a fractured vertebra, these injuries can be difficult to heal.
  • Spinal cord injuries: The spinal cord, protected by the spinal column and muscles of the back, is the information conduit for the limbs and many internal organs. If the spinal cord is bent, pinched, torn or severed, an individual can suffer paralysis. Depending on the location of the injury, quadriplegia or paraplegia can result.
