Types Of Injuries Suffered
Given the wrong circumstances, even a minor collision such as a fender bender can result in serious injuries that require extensive treatment and extended physical therapy. Common Arizona car accident injuries range from cuts and lacerations to broken bones, neck injuries, brain trauma, spinal cord damage and paralysis. Depending upon the severity of the injuries suffered, the actual cost of a crash can be staggering.
Damages Suffered in Injury Accidents
There are many financial, physical and emotional damages that may result from an injury accident. Examples of damages sustained in a serious accident include:
- Emergency room bills
- Medical equipment
- Prescription drugs
- Hospital expenses
- Wages lost during the recovery process
- Physical therapy costs
- Cost of chiropractic care
- Car repairs
- Physical pain
- Mental anguish
When these types of damages are suffered because of a negligent car driver, the victim may be able to pursue compensation by filing a personal injury claim in Arizona.
Arizona Personal Injury Claim
A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit that can be filed by the victim or by the victim's family on behalf of their loved one. A civil lawsuit will hold the at-fault party responsible for the all injuries, damages and losses sustained. A skilled Phoenix personal injury attorney may be needed to establish fault and liability and hold the negligent parties accountable.
Not all injuries and crashes are worth the same. In general, the more devastating the injury, the more compensation the victim may receive. Financial compensation should cover all current and future expenses related to the accident. Failure to secure an experienced injury attorney may result in the financial settlement being inadequate. Another mistake commonly made by injured victims is to rush into settlements without taking into account all current and future expenses. This can really hurt the victim's chances of receiving full compensation, because once an agreement is signed, the case is closed.
