Auto Accidents

Car crashes happen every day

Each time you get into an automobile, you risk being involved in an accident. Car crashes accounted for more than 30,000 deaths in the United States in 2008. They can happen on any road, at any time, to anyone. This makes it likely that most of us will be involved in a car wreck at some point in our life.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in an auto accident, you need an experienced personal injury attorney working for you. At Robert S. Windholz, LLC, we take on the insurance companies in our fight to attain the best possible outcome for clients.

Even minor car accidents can cause major injuries

You do not have to be involved in a serious car wreck to be severely injured or killed. Common auto accident injuries include the following:

Neck pain

Neck injuries are among the most common injuries caused by car accidents.  Depending on the severity of the injury, pain may be present immediately.  However, pain associated with neck injuries often is not apparent until later and can become severe if left untreated.

Back pain

 Similar to neck injuries, back pain is common after an auto accident.  And, like neck pain, it may not present itself immediately. Once the adrenaline from the accident is no longer coursing through your system, back pain often sets in and can be serious.

Acceleration/deceleration injuries (whiplash injuries)

Often referred to as whiplash, acceleration/deceleration injuries occur when a traumatic event causes the head to move suddenly in one direction before snapping back in the other direction. Acceleration/deceleration injuries may not be immediately apparent after an accident, but can be incredibly painful and require medical treatment once a victim begins to feel symptoms.

Spinal cord injuries

Injuries to the spinal cord can have serious, lifelong consequences.  Some injuries may result in immediate paralysis, while even less serious injuries may require surgery or other medical treatment.

How much will your auto accident cost you?

Injuries from auto accidents can have long-lasting consequences that affect your ability to work, care for your family, and handle your daily routine as you normally would. In addition to the physical, mental, and emotional pain caused by an auto wreck, the cost of emergency medical services and ongoing care and treatment can leave car crash victims financially crippled.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car wreck, you may be entitled to compensation.
