A Work-Related Car Accident Can Have Devastating Consequences

Many Americans travel during work for a variety of reasons, including:

• Attending meetings or training
• Meeting with clients
• Transporting goods
• Picking up supplies

Determining liability when an employee is in an auto accident is, in many cases, more complicated than when an injury occurs at a job site. If an employee is injured in a crash with another vehicle, and the other party is found responsible, the other party and their insurance will be ultimately responsible for all:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Permanent impairment or disability
• Prescriptions
• Other damages

However, your claim may take considerable time to process, as insurance companies will likely fight to reduce the amount of damages they are obligated to pay. In the meantime, you may need workers’ compensation to cover your medical expenses.

Spinal cord injuries can have lifelong effects depending upon which area of the spine is injured, and the severity of the injury. We have worked extensively with clients who have suffered physical trauma resulting from various causes of spinal cord injuries, including car accidents. Our personal injury lawyers can investigate your case and make sure the amount of compensation you receive will cover the costs of your expenses.

Car Accidents And Injuries Can Occur In Various Forms

Car accidents that carry a high risk of spinal injury include:

• Rollovers
• Head-on collisions
• Rear-end collisions
• T-bone collisions
• Collisions with stationary objects such as trees or medians

These accidents can cause severe physical trauma when:

• A person’s body continues with the locomotion of the car and is jolted forward and then quickly jerked back (whiplash).
• A foreign object comes through the car and comes in contact with the person.
• A person is catapulted through the windshield.
• The car’s roof is crushed, injuring those inside.
• A person’s body is jolted during a rollover.

The spinal cord itself is a complex network of nerves through which every impulse passes. However, it is delicate and has little protection when the vertebrae become damaged. The spinal cord can become concussed, contused, compressed or torn. All of these injuries can have lifelong effects depending upon which area of the spine is injured and the severity of the injury.
