More people are seriously injured by motorcycle, car, and truck accidents than any other type of injury. Although weather and vehicle speed can contribute to these accidents, driver negligence is what causes the majority of these injuries and accidents.
Even if you think you aren’t hurt, you should always visit the emergency room. It’s not uncommon for injured victims to be in pain right away but to experience severe pain and bruising several days later. Get medical attention immediately after an accident.
These cases can be confusing, especially for those with severe brain injuries. You’ll need to talk with a brain injury lawyer about all aspects:
- Not just a regular doctor, but an expert in brain injury diagnosis.
- Payment of medical bills and related expenses
- Compensation for lost wages or time away from work
- How insurance companies respond to injury cases
- If the injury was caused by negligence, assigning blame and responsibility.
Brain injury cases are complex as well, as we have already stated. Even if the injury is mild, a brain injury caused by negligence can cause serious and life-threatening consequences for the victim.
