Car Accidents in New Jersey
Car accidents are a common occurrence across New Jersey, with over 278,000 traffic crashes reported statewide in a recent year. Many of these incidents happen on busy roadways during peak traffic hours, often resulting in injuries ranging from minor to severe. These crashes not only affect those directly involved but also lead to widespread delays and disruption in local communities.
One topic worth addressing when it comes to car accidents is the range of injuries victims may suffer:
-
Soft Tissue Injuries: These include whiplash, muscle strains, and ligament sprains. While they may appear minor at first, symptoms can worsen over time. Many victims need physical therapy or medication for recovery, and some deal with ongoing pain for months.
-
Head and Brain Injuries: A sudden impact can result in concussions or more severe traumatic brain injuries. These can alter a person’s cognitive functions, emotions, and overall ability to manage daily life. Early medical intervention is crucial to minimize long-term damage.
-
Spinal Cord Injuries: Back and neck trauma is common in high-impact crashes. Victims may suffer from slipped discs or fractured vertebrae. In serious cases, partial or full paralysis can occur, drastically altering someone’s quality of life.
-
Bone Fractures: Broken arms, legs, ribs, and facial bones are common in accidents. Recovery often involves surgery, immobilization, and rehabilitation. These injuries can limit mobility and independence, especially when multiple fractures are involved.
-
Internal Injuries: Blunt force from seat belts or deployed airbags can lead to internal bleeding or organ damage. These injuries are not always immediately noticeable but can quickly become life-threatening without prompt medical care.
After a crash, speaking with a knowledgeable car accident attorney is essential. Victims are often overwhelmed with medical bills, missed work, and insurance claims.
