Anyone who’s ever been in a car accident would know how traumatic it can be, whether the injuries and damage sustained are minor or major. Whatever their severity, car accidents put considerable physical, financial and emotional burdens on the injured victims and their families.

Accidents are usually caused by someone else’s fault or negligence and the injured are entitled to seek compensation from those responsible for the accident. A free consultation injury lawyer can evaluate your case and provide a swift, genuine and comprehensive assessment that would help you to proceed further.

It’s important that anyone who is involved in an accident gets a thorough clinical evaluation immediately, however minor the injuries appear to be.

Serious injuries are those that result in profuse internal/external bleeding, head/neck/spine trauma, compound fractures etc. and require airway management and initial resuscitation followed by immediate transfer to an ER. The ER physicians recommend further investigations and also consult with specialists to determine the line of treatment to be adopted. Our top-rated accident lawyers can assist victims and their families to get the best possible medical treatment immediately.

Common Life-Threatening Injuries

Generally, the serious and catastrophic injuries seen in victims of car accidents include:

Head/Brain Injury: Blunt-force trauma, concussion, internal bleeding, skull fractures, cuts, lacerations etc.

Back/Neck Injury: Spinal-cord damage or severance, whiplash, herniated discs, spinal fractures. Paralysis and disability either short/long-term or permanent can result.

Burns: From contact or explosions can result in severe injuries, disfigurement, scarring, infections etc, requiring long-term treatment, rehabilitation and plastic-surgery.

Blunt/Penetrating injuries: Blunt-force trauma causes internal bleeding, organ and soft-tissue damage. Penetrating injuries happen either when an external object pierces the body/head or when broken bones pierce the organs internally. Both these injuries can be extremely dangerous especially when they affect the brain, as continuous bleeding and clotting can put pressure on the brain. Penetrating chest-injuries can damage heart, lungs and blood-vessels.

Laceration: Brain laceration is life-threatening or could leave the person disabled for life.

Our top Toronto personal injury lawyers can build a robust claim based on the circumstances of the case, the nature and extent of your injuries, their impact on your life and that of your family’s and the establishment of negligence and responsibility of the at-fault party.
