Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents cause
the body to accept a lot
of energy in a very short
period of time (high
velocity). Although this
may result in a fracture,
high velocity injuries are
much more likely to damage
soft tissues (muscles,
ligaments and tendons).
These soft tissue injuries
do not show up well on any
imaging study, so the
patients x-rays or other
diagnostic studies are
often normal. Victims of
Automobile Accidents
should consider the long
term effect ratter than
focus on the visible
damages.
Airbag Injuries
Activated air bags can inflict severe eye injuries, including blindness, even in minor car accidents, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that since 1990, airbag deployment has killed 227 people in low-severity crashes, including 76 drivers, 10 adult passengers, 119 children between the ages of 1 and 11, and 22 infants. Of the 76 adult drivers killed, 28 were women under 5 feet 2 inches tall, and 4 of the 10 adult passengers killed were females smaller than that height.
Animal Bites
According to the Center for Disease Control, every 40 seconds, someone in the United States seeks medical attention for a dog bite related injury. The owner of a dog is responsible for the behavior of the dog and any events or accidents that occur because of the dog. When an injury occurs, the owner of the dog may be legally obligated to pay the victim's damages unless the victim provoked the attack. Often times, dog bite victims are compensated for their injuries by the responsible partys home owners' insurance policy. An experienced attorney can help evaluate the circumstances surrounding a dog bite injury.
