Clements, Taylor, Butkovich & Cohen, L.P.A., Co. is an accident and disability law firm serving the greater area of Cincinnati and southwest Ohio. We have experience representing victims of automobile accidents, workers compensation injuries, malpractice injuries, and other unfortunate circumstances. A majority of our law practice focuses on accident litigation involving car accidents. We would like to point out some of the most common injuries individuals experience are ones they have suffered after being in auto accidents.
Common Injuries from Car Accidents
Survivors of automobile accidents often suffer from severe physical injuries that can require hospitalization, physical therapy, and loss of wages. If the injuries sustained in the accident prevent the survivor from returning to work quickly, this can cause problems to multiply.
Here are some of the most common injuries suffered by automobile accident victims:
- Head Trauma – including concussions or traumatic brain injury
- Neck Injury – including whiplash, or other damage to nerves and muscle
- Back Injury – spinal misalignment or muscle damage that requires hospitalization and limits mobility
- Joint Damage – often including hips, knees, and ankles
- Pelvic Damage – bone trauma in the pelvic region
- Wrongful Death
If you have been in a severe car accident, please seek medical attention immediately. Accident injury can mean a long road to recovery. Legal representation is sometimes necessary to win a just car crash settlement that will cover your medical bills and loss of wages. Careful defensive driving is the first step to automobile safety, but sometimes even the most defensive drivers cannot offset the negligence of others or the conditions of the road. Vehicular accident injuries in Cincinnati are more common than they should be, but our law firm can help you with court procedures so that you can recover and get your life back on the right track.
The Path to Recovery
As you seek medical help for the injuries you sustained in your car accident, be sure to keep any and all relevant paperwork. Notes from medical professionals and care specialists, receipts for pharmacy items, receipts for co-pays and hospital visits – all of these are essential toward getting the reimbursements you need for your care.
Your journey to full physical recovery may be a lengthy one. You need to prepare yourself for potential setbacks along the way. You hope that your path to recovery is smooth and continuous, but there may be times that complications arise.
Anything that can make your progress easier and more comfortable is worth considering. Seek counseling or other mental health support is often a wise move. This type of care can also be reimbursed in your personal injury settlement.
