Car Accidents Can Cause Life-Changing Injuries

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), motor vehicle accidents are common in Kentucky and around the world. Each year more than 3,700 people are injured globally in accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Injuries resulting from car accidents can range from minor injuries such as bruises and cuts to serious injuries like broken bones and head trauma. Many times these types of injuries require medical attention and treatment. Common car accident injuries may include: Head injury: Head injuries can result in loss of consciousness or memory loss. These injuries can also cause brain damage which can lead to permanent disabilities. Spinal cord injury: Spinal injuries can affect movement, sensation, and feeling below the waist. Internal organ damage: Internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines, and stomach can be damaged if they hit other objects during a crash. Internal bleeding can also occur when internal organs are damaged. Torn ligaments: Ligaments connect muscles to bones and allow them to move freely. Torn ligaments can restrict movement causing pain and discomfort. Traumatic brain injury (TBI): Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is caused by a sudden impact to the head. It can happen in a car accident, sports-related injury, or any type of fall. TBI can cause headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, personality changes, seizures, coma, paralysis, and even death. Burns: Burns can occur when hot fluids come into contact with the skin. They can be caused by fire or steam from a radiator. Fractures: Fractures or broken bones can occur when a bone breaks due to excessive force. They can be caused by a car accident, slip and fall, or any other type of accident. Lacerations: Lacerations are soft tissue injuries that cut through the skin. They can be deep or shallow depending on how much tissue is involved. Non-economic damages may include: Emotional distress: Emotional distress occurs when someone experiences severe anxiety or depression after being involved in a car accident. Pain and suffering: Pain and suffering refer to physical pain and emotional distress experienced by victims of car accidents. This includes mental anguish, embarrassment, grief, fear, shock, worry, anger, humiliation, and financial losses.

Getting the Legal Perspective on Car Accidents – Audio Interview

Car accident lawyer Darryl Isaacs — The Hammer — sat down to address legal and safety considerations when injured from a car crash in a recent radio episode of “Ask The Hammer,” the podcast exploring the legal matters that matter most. There are many elements at play when knowing what to do after a car accident. Listen to the episode directly below.

Our Wrongful Death Attorneys Evaluate Your Possible Damages

Among the most stressful expenses after a sudden loss is honoring the final wishes of the deceased. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) highlights many of the costs associated with funeral and burial services, such as:

Embalming
Cremation
Casket or urn
Burial
Funeral service
Graveside service
Hearse
Catering
Other final wishes

All of these and other costs associated with your loved one’s funeral can be recovered. Your loved one’s life deserves appropriate recognition, paid for by the responsible party.

Yet funeral costs aren’t the only financial strains covered by compensation:

Lost income
Medical bills
Out-of-pocket expenses

Lost income includes income the deceased would have earned not only from their primary job but also from any side revenue stream. Our personal injury lawyers consult with financial experts to create a comprehensive portrait of the lost financial support. Some losses you suffered may not be listed here but could still be eligible for reimbursement. When we investigate your case, we explore every avenue for damages so you aren’t saddled with unnecessary financial burdens.

Personal Damages

Although the law seems dry and unemotional, it doesn’t neglect to recognize the emotional costs of tragedy. In fact, certain family members can receive certain non-economic damages:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of parental guidance
Loss of consortium
Loss of support
Loss of affection

For instance, children can receive special consideration for the loss of crucial advice their parents could have provided in the future. Widows and widowers can be compensated for the intimacy and emotional support their spouses gave them.

These are not insignificant consequences. The law, therefore, establishes rules to hold the liable party accountable for them. Your Shepherdsville wrongful death lawyer can help enforce those rules in your case.

Punitive Damages

Kentucky allows grieving families to pursue additional damages designed not to reimburse specific expenses but to punish the perpetrator.

Punitive damages are typically allowed in cases involving willful or gross negligence—accidents that only happened on purpose or due to an extreme lack of caution. Our attorneys can discuss this more in detail with you once we learn more about the accident.

Our Lawyers Investigate Your Case and Identify Negligence

To defend your rights and those of your lost loved one, we compile evidence connecting their passing to someone’s negligent action. That means the other party acted in a way that violated their duty of care and caused preventable death. As a result, the surviving family of the deceased is entitled to damages. Violating duty of care can mean a product manufacturer failed to run adequate safety checks before releasing something on the market.

It could mean a commercial truck driver got behind the wheel while drowsy after driving longer than their regulated hours. Even failing to keep a dog on a leash can constitute a violation of a duty of care. These and other scenarios could be the basis for a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. Our firm could represent your lost loved one if negligence claimed their lives in any of the following situations:

Car accidents
Truck collisions
Motorcycle crashes
Bicycle collisions
Pedestrian accidents
Boating accidents
Slip and falls
Premises liability cases
Defective medical devices
Defective drugs

Don’t hesitate to ask us about your case, even if you aren’t sure what happened. In fact, our firm can conduct an independent investigation to verify the facts of the accident, unearth evidence, talk to witnesses, and identify the liable party’s negligence.

Our Results

Among the variety of wrongful death accidents our attorneys have handled are some notable cases and recoveries, such as:

$10 million for a head-on collision with a semi-truck accident
$1.5 million for an accident involving a motorcyclist

What you receive in your case will be based on your own personal losses. However, our case results testify to our willingness to stand up for those who can no longer stand up for themselves.
