Common Car Accident Injuries

There are numerous car accident injuries that can be sustained in an auto accident. The most common is whiplash, a type of neck injury caused by the sudden jerking forward and backward of the head, usually caused by being rear-ended. Other injuries include:

• cuts and bruises

• burns

• broken bones

The impact of a car accident could also cause the driver or a passenger to receive a blow to the head, resulting in traumatic brain injury which could cause:

• amnesia

• permanent brain damage

• coma

In other extreme cases, a person could experience a spinal cord injury that causes temporary or permanent paralysis. In any of these situations, the car accident victim should seek a skilled car accident attorney to fight for them.

Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims

You have a limited amount of time to take legal action after a car accident. Under California's personal injury statute of limitations, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit against the responsible driver.

If you do not file a civil claim within this time period, you will essentially lose your right to sue and be unable to recover compensation for your injuries. Even if you expect your case to be resolved through a pending insurance claim, it is important to get an attorney involved as early as possible to prepare for a potential lawsuit and avoid costly pitfalls.
