Automobile accidents, and the personal injuries that results because
of them, can happen anytime you are on the road. Whether you are idling
at a red light or cruising down I-95 at 55 miles per hour, tragedy from
the negligence of another driver can strike anywhere, anytime. As the
population in South Florida increases, sadly, the number of automobile
accidents and personal injuries increases as well.

The
personal injury sustained in an automobile accident or truck accident
can cause a lifetime of suffering. The most common injury from an
automobile accident is to the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine
(low back). While not every accident causes an injury, a traumatic
event, like a car accident, can cause spinal damages ranging from a
soft tissue injury in the cervical and lumbar spine (whiplash) to
herniated or fractured discs. These painful conditions can lead to
radiating pain in the hands, arms, buttocks, and legs. Those suffering
from herniated discs frequently report a feeling of numbness and
tingling in their hands and shooting pain into their legs.
In addition to spinal injuries, it is not uncommon for people to
sustain broken bones, broken ankles, or injuries to their knees as the
result of striking the internal components of the vehicle.
If you are involved in an automobile accident, you should
immediately seek medical attention. Even if you do not immediately feel
pain, you should make an appointment with your primary doctor or seek
treatment in the Emergency Room to confirm that no bones have been
fractured.
Personal injuries can cause not only physical pain, but also
emotional anxiety and financial hardship that arises from a loss of
earning capacity and ongoing medical bills. These hardships can result
in unintended stress upon family and loved ones. Following an accident,
what was once considered an easy task frequently becomes a chore.
