Common Injuries in Santa Clarita Car Accidents

Car accidents can cause various injuries because of the extreme force exerted during a collision. Bones can break, muscles can tear, or nerves can become damaged. In some situations, car accidents can lead to fatalities or life-altering injuries. Here are some of the common injuries we see Santa Clarita car accident victims suffering from:

  • Catastrophic injuries – These are severe and debilitating injuries that involve extensive physical trauma to the body. Some may result in permanent disabilities and a decreased quality of life.
  • Spinal cord injuries – These serious injuries can result in partial or complete paralysis. Spinal cord injuries often result in significant loss of mobility or function.
  • Traumatic brain injuries – These injuries are common in motor vehicle accidents when the head hits a hard surface like a steering wheel, dashboard, or seat. Even when no impact is involved, a traumatic brain injury can still occur when the brain crashes into the interior of the skull due to the force involved in the crash. Traumatic brain injuries can result in physical disabilities and cognitive impairment.
  • Complex fractures – Car accidents can cause severe damage to the bones, resulting in multiple or complex fractures. These injuries can cause a victim to be out of work for months. Surgery may be required to treat these injuries.
  • Burn injuries – The combustible liquids in vehicles can light up, causing a fire or explosion in an accident. Burns can be painful and require expensive and invasive surgery and skin grafts to treat.

If you or a loved one suffered any of the injuries described above, contact us today at (602) 737-3333 to discuss your case.
