Vegas Car Accident Injury Lawyers

The severity of injuries a person suffers in a motor vehicle accident will depend upon several factors, including:

  • The speed of the vehicles when they struck each other, a pedestrian or biker
  • The angle of impact (rear-end or T-bone, for example)
  • The size and weight of the injury victim
  • The fit and functionality of restraining devices (seat belts and air bags)
  • Whether the victim was wearing a helmet (in the case of motorcyclists and bicyclists)

Injuries in car accidents, truck crashes or motorcycle collisions can be classified as:

  • Catastrophic injuries, life-altering injuries that could be fatal and include severe brain injury (traumatic brain injury, closed head injury or skull fracture) and spinal cord injury (paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia)
  • Serious or severe injuries, including crush injuries, loss of limbs (amputation), compound fractures and back injury
  • Minor injuries such as a broken collarbone, pelvis, arm, leg, elbow or knee

Before you talk with the other driver's insurance company or settle a claim with your own insurer, you owe it to yourself and your family to have your case evaluated by an experienced lawyer. Contact the Vegas car accident injury lawyers at Harris & Harris.

Sometimes an injury that appears to be relatively minor at the time of the accident develops into a serious problem over time. For example, a whiplash injury to the back, neck and/or shoulder may not become apparent until a few days later when pain and stiffness become immobilizing. A broken bone may heal improperly or arthritis may develop if the break occurred at a joint.

The personal injury lawyers at Harris & Harris urge you not to act too quickly when accepting a settlement of your personal injury claim after a car, truck or motorcycle accident. Seek out the best medical care you can get after a motor vehicle accident. If you are having trouble accessing care, an attorney may be able to help you.

Make sure you understand the full extent of your injuries and the course of treatment your doctor recommends. Once you accept a settlement, you cannot reopen the case to ask for additional compensation for medical bills or lost wages.
