Auto accidents result in a plethora of injuries and different types of damage, short-term and long-term consequences and invariably, they impact the regular pattern of life. Nerve damage is a particularly serious type of injury that affects not only the victim but also tends to put stresses and strains of different types on the entire family or even the community as a whole. When such traumatic events take place, filing personal injury claims with assistance from a car accident lawyer who has experience in this area of law can be of immense help in receiving compensation that’s due to victims.

Nerve Damage Facts

An important aspect of nerve damage is that the accident need not be particularly severe to cause it. Whiplash can be caused even in low-impact crashes. Crash-specialists opine that in severe crashes, the body of the vehicle absorbs much of the impact, but in low-impact accidents, the human body may take on the entire force of this stress. Another fact to remember is that nerve damage may not be immediately apparent. Pain may be felt only days after the event and unless a thorough neurological exam is conducted, nerve damage may remain undiagnosed, leading to complications. Injuries may crush the surrounding bones, or the nerves themselves may be crushed, severed, stretched or compressed or become detached from the spinal cord. The nerve may be pinched between two sections of bone.

Symptoms 

Nerves control movement, communication and sensation, and they also help us to interface with the outside world by receiving and transmitting information. Any damage to them would affect these faculties, leading to a diminished quality of life. A personal injury lawyer can help victims to undergo the right kind of tests and assessments for early intervention so that the extent of injury can be gaged and treatment begun.

Often the symptoms may include vague feelings of numbness, or a burning sensation and

• Weakness
• Muscle atrophy
• Twitching
• Complete or partial paralysis
• Skin sensitivity
• Problems with spatial awareness
• Irritability
• Loss of bowel control, mobility, etc.

Contact a neurologist immediately or request help from a traumatic brain injury lawyer to get a thorough check-up done. Such nerve damage may result from compression and concussion in auto accidents, or from impact with hard surfaces, stretched nerves as in whiplash injuries, severed or cut nerves due to deep lacerations or amputation.
