Common Injuries in Distracted Driving Accidents

Distracted driving accidents can result in a myriad of injuries, ranging from mild to severe. Some common injuries include:

  • Whiplash and Neck Injuries: The abrupt force of a collision can lead to whiplash, causing strain and damage to the neck's soft tissues.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): The impact of a distracted driving accident can cause head injuries, leading to traumatic brain injuries that may have long-term consequences.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Severe accidents may lead to spinal cord injuries, affecting mobility and often requiring extensive medical care.
  • Broken Bones and Fractures: The force of a collision can cause fractures and breaks, necessitating medical attention and potential long-term rehabilitation.
  • Emotional Trauma: Beyond physical injuries, victims may experience emotional trauma, impacting their mental well-being and quality of life.

What Damages Could Be Recovered in a Distracted Driving Accident Claim?

Victims of distracted driving accidents are qualified to seek compensation for various damages incurred. Potentially recoverable damages include:

  • Medical Expenses: Compensation for present and future medical costs arising from injuries sustained in the accident, including hospital bills, surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation costs.
  • Lost Wages: Victims could be eligible for compensation for the income lost because of the inability to work during recovery. This includes both current and future lost wages.
  • Property Damage: Restoration or replacement costs for damaged vehicles and personal property involved in the accident.
  • Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages such as physical pain, emotional distress, and the overall effect on the victim's quality of life.
  • Loss of Consortium: Compensation for the harmful impact on personal relationships, including the loss of companionship, support, and intimacy.
  • Punitive Damages: In extreme negligence or willful misconduct cases, punitive damages may be awarded to deter the at-fault party and others from similar behavior.

The Harsh Reality Of Insurance Companies

While proving the driver responsible for your accident was distracted may be challenging, facing their insurance company can be even harder. Insurance agents work for large corporations with teams of attorneys. Their goal is to protect their bottom line by minimizing, delaying, or denying your claim whenever possible. So, while you or your loved one may be suffering from pain, property damage, and the associated high costs of medical care and repair bills, they may be working to minimize your claim so you do not get the full and fair compensation you need to recover.
