Serious Injuries

Accidents are traumatic experiences. After you get past the initial shock, you may be angry, nervous, and afraid. If you are hurt in the accident, your life may change. If your injuries are severe, you may have to spend a long time in the hospital, undergoing multiple surgeries and medical treatment. You may need to be under a doctor’s care and supervision for an extended period. Recovery can be weeks or months.

People can be hurt when they are hit by a distracted driver, slip on a wet floor, or fall in a poorly-lit parking lot. Serious injuries may force you into a new reality. You may not be able to live the life you did before you were hurt. You may need continuous care and help, just to do basic household tasks. If your injuries impact your ability to move or walk, permanent modifications may be necessary for your home. Your family may need to install ramps, widen doorways, or change out the flooring to help you get around. 

Serious injuries can cause immense pain and rob you of the simple pleasures in life, such as spending time with your family or taking a walk on the beach. If you have a family, they may be suffering because you can’t provide for them financially. Knowing that someone else’s carelessness caused such severe injuries is emotionally devastating.

In some cases, it may be obvious when you have serious injuries. Broken bones, severed limbs, burns, and deep cuts or lacerations are visible. They can be treated in the emergency room or may require an extended hospital stay. 

To pursue a personal injury lawsuit, injuries must meet one of the thresholds below;

• The damage must be significant and result in the permanent loss of a bodily function
• Based on a reasonable degree of probability, the injury is permanent
• You were significantly and permanently disfigured or scarred from the injury
• The injury resulted in a death

With these thresholds in place, it is helpful to discuss your situation with a personal injury lawyer. They are experienced in such matters and can advise if your injury falls within the parameters above. Many factors exist. For example, a broken bone is not permanent. However, a broken leg impacts your ability to walk and may meet the thresholds above. 

In other cases, age may play a factor. A fall injury may be less severe for a young person. For an older adult, the damage may be permanent. 

However, injuries are not always visible. Head injuries, soft tissue tears, and damage to internal organs are serious. Not only are they extremely painful, but they also impact your ability to think, move, and function.
