In a split second when your car collides with any solid object, your life can be changed forever because of painful, disfiguring, and disabling injuries. If you’re reading this after being involved in a car accident in Morristown, Parsippany-Troy Hills, Mount Olive, Denville, Randolph, Newton, Hackettstown, or anywhere else in New Jersey, depending on the speed and conditions upon impact, you may be fortunate to be alive. Even if your injuries aren’t severe, you will still likely have medical expenses, as well as lost income. Plus, your car is probably damaged.

The reality is that common injuries associated with car accidents create undeserved expenses and losses. That’s why you need to speak with a qualified New Jersey personal injury attorney before you talk to the insurance company. Contact the skilled car crash lawyers at Hoyt & Hoyt today to discuss your NJ auto accident and explore your legal options.

The Most Common Car Accident Injuries in New Jersey

How many ways can a person be injured when metal collides with metal or other hard objects? The truth is that many different types of injuries may occur in a New Jersey car accident. Upon impact, a body can be smashed against a steering wheel, thrown through a window, or crushed by a roof. Even a seatbelted car occupant can experience severe internal injuries. And there’s more. Here are some of the most common car accident injuries in NJ:

#1 Traumatic Brain and Head Injuries: Brain injuries range from mild to serious, but often the symptoms are similar. While the severity of a brain injury isn’t always immediately obvious, anyone who has endured a hit to the head may experience long or lifetime disability and diminished quality of life. Head and brain injuries can disastrously impact your normal ability to function.

#2 Fractured/Broken Bones: Broken bones and fractures are some of the most common personal injuries sustained in a car accident. Due to the excessive force that the body suffers upon impact, it is not uncommon for a victims’ bones to fracture or break when they come under too much pressure or twist at an unnatural angle.

#3 Neck Injuries: Most commonly called “whiplash,” serious, painful neck injuries can occur when a stationary head is suddenly thrust forward or backward upon impact, straining and stretching muscles and ligaments and leading to both long- and short-term pain and restrictions.

#4 Spinal Cord Injuries: At worst, spinal cord injuries, especially when the spinal cord has been torn or pierced, can cause paralysis, which usually shortens life and certainly makes daily activities more challenging. With less severe spinal cord injuries, discs can be injured, which often leads to a lifetime of pain and mobility issues.

#5 Back Injuries: Upon vehicle impact, a back’s muscles and ligaments may be strained or torn. While back injuries suffered in car accidents may not be life-threatening injuries, the pain, at times incapacitating, can significantly impair one’s quality of life and ability to work.

#6 Facial, Teeth, and Jaw Injuries: A face can be disfigured and facial bones and teeth broken in multiple ways when a car accident victim’s face impacts a steering wheel, dashboard, airbags, windshield, or other hard or sharp material.

#7 Internal Injuries: Other than traumatic brain injury, internal injuries can be the most devastating. The impact of a vehicle accident can easily injure the spleen, liver, lungs, heart, aorta, bowels, and kidneys. While rib fractures in themselves are not deadly, they can puncture lungs and cause respiratory failure.

#8 Psychological and Psychiatric Injuries: The trauma of a serious accident can significantly damage mental and emotional well-being. Post-traumatic stress may cause the accident victim to relive the accident over and over and can be effectively disabling. Also, emotional issues such as anxiety and depression may impact quality of life and ability to function normally.

If you were injured in a New Jersey car accident, you should immediately seek medical intervention. Once you are medically stabilized, you should contact a New Jersey personal injury attorney who is qualified to help you get through the difficult logistics of filing an insurance claim and, when appropriate, a personal injury lawsuit in civil court.
