The 3 Major Impacts of a Car Accident
A serious car accident can have multiple impacts on all aspects of your
life. It can cause physical injuries that may take months or even years to
heal; it can cause emotional injuries that will directly impact the quality
of your life; and it can financially cripple both you and your loved ones.
This article focuses on these three major impacts of a serious car
accident.

Physical Injuries
Certain physical injuries are obvious after a car accident. Broken bones,
torn ligaments, severe cuts and lacerations are some of the more
apparent physical injuries suffered by car accident victims. However,
there are other physical injuries that may not be immediately obvious
because the symptoms may not surface or become apparent days or
weeks after the accident.

Emotional Injuries
Car accident injuries are not limited to only physical injuries. There are
few things in life more terrifying than being trapped inside a car as it
goes through the forces that are part of the collision. Unfortunately,
the nightmare does not end when the victim is removed from the car.
The victim is exposed to the horrific scene and to any other injured
victims waiting for medical response. Emotional injuries are the
emotional reactions experienced by injured car accident victims.
Children can also experience emotional injuries after a car accident.
Although emotional injuries suffered by car accident victims may be
less obvious than physical injuries, it does not make these types of
injuries any less severe.

Treating physical and emotional injuries resulting from a serious car
accident can be very costly. As such, car accident victims often suffer
severe financial losses that can significantly impact their livelihood.
In order to recover compensation for these three major impacts
suffered as a result of a car accident, you need to hire an experienced
and respected New York car accident lawyer who will fight for you.
