Common Injuries from Auto Accidents

What Types of Harm Require Legal Help?

The Gloucester County auto accident lawyers at the Law Office of Milton W. Brown can help when you or a loved one suffers any of the following injuries in a car accident:

• Whiplash.  Most often the result of rear-end collisions, whiplash can injure nerves, muscles, and connective tissue of the neck and upper back.  In addition to the severe pain associated with this condition, weeks—or even months—of limited mobility add to the total costs of harm suffered.
• Contusions and lacerations.  Bruises and cuts from twisted steel and broken glass can cause disfiguring wounds to faces, hands, and other parts of the body.  Even with extensive (and costly) cosmetic surgery, the victim can suffer permanent physical and emotional scars from this type of Gloucester County auto accident injury.
• Breaks and fractures.  Almost any bone is at risk of fracture in the event of an auto accident.  Besides the expense and inconvenience of being put into braces, splints, and casts, breaks and fractures can render the victim unable to work for great lengths of time.
• Punctured organs.  Unfortunately, broken bones do not always affect only one part of the body.  Fractured ribs, for instance, can puncture organs such as the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, leading to excruciatingly painful and life-threatening injuries.
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI).  Gloucester County, Salem County & Atlantic County automobile accident lawyers often see the dismal results of TBI caused by the blows of blunt objects to the victim's head.  Items in and around the vehicle are also capable of directly penetrating brain tissue.  In one sickening moment, the life of the injured person and his or her loved ones can be changed forever, with permanent disability often the result of such incidents.
• Spinal cord injuries (SCI).  Similar in devastation and heartache to TBI is the harm done to spinal cords in Gloucester County, Atlantic County & Salem County automobile accidents.  Depending upon the bodily location of the injury, victims may find themselves unable to walk, move their hands, or do little more than nod their heads for the remainder of their lives.
