Frequently Seen Injuries After a Car Accident

A car crash can cause a range of injuries, from minor scratches to major wounds. These injuries can significantly impact your life and daily routine. Even seemingly minor injuries can become serious, which is why seeing a medical professional to evaluate and treat your injuries is important. Common injuries that can lead to legal claims include:

  • Neck Injuries: Whiplash is a common injury caused by the sudden movement of your neck. Although at first glance it may seem minor, it can cause lifelong discomfort.
  • Cuts and Lacerations: Parts of your vehicle can break off into sharp pieces and cut you, which can cause significant bleeding and damage.
  • Head Trauma: The sudden impact caused by an accident can cause concussions and other head injuries that could cause long-lasting effects such as headaches, which may take years to heal.
  • Broken Bones: Pelvic, arm, neck, and clavicle fractures are common in car accidents. Older individuals can take longer to heal and may require surgery.
  • Internal Wounds and Soft tissue Injuries: Damage to organs, internal bleeding, sprains, and muscle tears can all be triggered by the impact of an accident.

Car accidents can also trigger significant psychological trauma such as anxiety, a loss of will to live, depression, fear of driving, and PTSD. It is easy to overlook the significance of psychological injuries, but they can be as debilitating as a physical wound.

Always seek medical attention after a collision; initial panic can make it difficult to appreciate the extent of your injuries. A medical professional can assess and treat your wounds. Some of these injuries may need extensive care and may not be covered by your health insurance. In such cases, you may be able to sue for compensation.

Tips on How to Prevent a Motor Vehicle Accident

While compensation may be available to recover the costs of an accident, preventing an accident from occurring by practising safe driving habits is ideal. The following tips can be used to help you reduce the risk of an accident:

  • Obey Traffic Law: Traffic laws exist to protect everyone. Obeying speed limits, listening to traffic signals, and paying attention to road signs will help create a safe road environment.
  • Avoid Distractions: Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of an accident. Road conditions can change at a moment’s notice, which is why it’s important to always be alert.
  • Don’t Drink and Drive: Impaired driving is a leading cause of death among teenagers. Alcohol and drugs can impact reaction times and your judgment.
  • Be Alert: Pay attention to other road users. Being alert improves reaction times and helps anticipate potential accidents. Ensure you are awake and well-rested when driving.
  • Be Mindful of Road Conditions: Changes in weather can cause accidents. Rain, snow, and fog reduce visibility and can cause your car to skid. Adjust your driving to reflect the weather.

These tips can be helpful in preventing an accident, but they won’t completely eliminate the risk. Preparing what to do and knowing your legal rights can be helpful.

Commonly Asked car accident Questions

Here are our most asked questions on car accident claims.

You can claim compensation for pain and suffering, past wage loss, future wage loss, out-of-pocket expenses, expected future cost of care, loss of housekeeping capacity and an in-trust claim for people who have gone above and beyond to care for you when you were injured.

Personal injury lawsuits require technical skills to be advanced properly. A personal injury lawyer can help by making sure the legal and evidentiary parts of your case are being properly advanced. This allows you to concentrate on going to treatments and getting better.

Yes, if they are injured in an accident or are making a claim for wrongful death due to a close family member dying in a car accident. If your family member was not injured in the accident, aside from wrongful death claims, there are limited avenues to sue an at-fault driver.

Most people injured in car accidents have access to Section B benefits. These are no-fault benefits that pay for treatment, medication, and other health-related expenses. No-fault benefits can also provide disability coverage if you are disabled from working.

Yes, most of the time. If you cannot work after an accident, several sources of benefits might be available to you. You may have disability coverage through your work or employment insurance. If you do not, then in most cases, you will qualify for Section B benefits. If your disability is prolonged and indefinite, you may qualify for CPP disability benefits as well.

Each case is different. In a serious motor vehicle accident case, we must know how your recovery will be before we can value the case. This can sometimes take a couple of years before we know for sure. It is generally a mistake to settle your claim too early. Early settlements typically assume a full recovery without setbacks. We want to avoid situations where you settle your case early, and those assumptions turn out to be wrong.

Yes. First, any medical expenses covered by Section B that are not claimed in the lawsuit can be recovered as you go. Any medical expenses that were medically justified and reasonable, over and above Section B benefits, can be claimed in the lawsuit. This usually includes treatment and medications that exceed the Section B limits.

After ensuring your safety and health are accounted for, you must obtain the identification, insurance, and licence plate of the other vehicles and drivers involved in the accident. Obtain the contact details of any witnesses, as determining fault for an accident is a significant part of the case. The accident should be reported to your insurer promptly.

If you were uninsured, you will not have access to Section B benefits, but you can still make an at-fault claim against the other driver if they were at fault for the accident. If the other driver is uninsured, you will have access to your own Section B benefits. If the uninsured driver was at fault, you can make a claim against the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Program.

Yes. Emotional distress almost always follows physical distress and is a common injury in motor vehicle accident claims. Sometimes, emotional distress is more serious and can lead to a diagnosable psychiatric condition. Motor vehicle accidents can also be traumatic and can cause trauma-induced distress disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

The claims process for pedestrians and cyclists is similar to accidents between vehicles. In fact, sometimes pedestrians and cyclists can run into trouble if they do not take the same steps to obtain the other driver’s ID, insurance and licence plate. Section B benefits are still generally available except in rare situations.

Yes. Most people have some underlying health conditions. If those conditions include pain, particularly neck or back pain, they are especially vulnerable to an aggravation of those conditions. While insurance companies will try to use pre-existing conditions as a defence to a personal injury claim, people with pre-existing conditions are easier to injure and, take longer to heal and can sustain life-altering aggravations from motor vehicle accidents.
