Typical Accident Injuries
The injuries below can result from accidental injury, and in incidents that involve dangerous or defective products.

Broken Bones. Typical treatment requires the bone being set. Most broken bones heal over time, though complex breaks may require surgery and other long-term treatments. There can be complications in children who experience breaks at growth plate areas. In some situations, broken bones may cause other medical issues.

Lacerations, Cuts, and Bruises. Lacerations or cuts typically heal on their own but may require stitches and can result in scarring and infection.

Soft Tissue Damage. Whiplash, back injuries such as herniated discs, and injuries to the ligaments and tendons in the body can be some of the most enduring, difficult accident injuries to manage. Depending upon the severity of the injury, treatment may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, pain management therapy, chiropractic, prescription medicine and painkillers, or surgery. Soft tissue damage can be chronic, long-lasting, and difficult to resolve.

Brain Injury. Brain injury can range from mild to severe, and can be short-term or long-term. Symptoms include cognitive changes, personality changes, and partial or complete paralysis. Some brain injuries result in significant change of lifestyle, and require expensive lifelong inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation and care.

Spinal Cord Injury. Spinal cord injury can result in paralysis to varying degrees of severity. Spinal cord injury may also cause significant change of lifestyle, and costly long-term care.
