Common injuries in auto accidents…

The law defines personal injury as any type of harm you may have suffered as a result of an accident or intentional infliction. This could include physical injury, emotional suffering or distress and psychological trauma sustained. When you are injured in an auto accident, your injuries may be classified as minor, moderate, major or catastrophic. As a Personal Injury Lawyer in Los Angeles we’ve seen many of the most common accidents.

Minor and moderate injuries are injuries such as strains, sprains, broken bones, bruises or lacerations. These may be painful injuries involving substantial medical expenses, but these are also injuries that will usually heal quickly and completely. Some types of moderate injuries such as neck or back sprains can take a longer time to mend and may require extended physical therapy. Soft tissue injuries such as injuries to nerves, muscles and connective tissue also fall under this category. Some of these injuries can result in chronic pain and disability. Sometimes, even moderate injuries may prevent you from keeping a job or caring for your loved ones.
