Steven M. Burris is a Las Vegas, Nevada law firm that provides legal help for victims of automobile accident injury in Las Vegas. A Las Vegas auto accident injury can be a temporary or permanent injury that has a severe impact on the person’s quality of life. Even whiplash (the most common car accident injury) is quite painful, requires treatment for full recovery, and can cause you to miss work. People frequently experience these injuries in car accidents:
|
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injury
Neck injury
Back injury
Whiplash
Soft tissue injuries
Herniated or ruptured discs
Broken bones |
Amputations
Fractured ribs
Internal injuries
Knee damage
Shoulder injuries
Leg and foot injuries
Sprains and strains
Paralysis |
Repercussions from serious injury
A serious Las Vegas automobile accident injury can be permanent and life altering. Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury are among some of the most severe. If you do not die from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting trauma may affect your ability to:
|
Think
Reason
Understand words
Remember |
Talk
Walk
See
Hear |
|
TBI can manifest emotionally and behaviorally as aggression, depression, anxiety, and personality changes.
Spinal cord injury often causes paralysis in the body area below the injury. Because the spinal cord cannot regenerate, there is no chance of recovery from a damaged spinal cord.
What should you do if you are seriously injured?
Your first priority if seriously injured is always to get medical treatment. However, a family member should also contact a Las Vegas car accident lawyer (if you are unable to do so) as soon as possible to discuss your car accident injury in Las Vegas. The sooner a lawyer is involved, the better the opportunity to preserve evidence, establish fault, and identify liable parties. Filing deadlines (called a statute of limitations) exist for filing a Las Vegas auto accident lawsuit, and if missed, you cannot pursue compensation for damages.
