General Info - Car Accident Injuries

Car accident injuries can cause a huge disruption in your life. The Las Vegas law firm Benson, Bertoldo, Baker, & Carter represents individuals who have suffered car accident injuries, and we know how much trouble and heartache the injured and their families may be experiencing. The losses incurred in a car accident can be devastating - the physical and medical costs, emotional issues, financial costs, and lifestyle changes. Dealing with it all can be overwhelming.

Millions of Car Accident Injuries
Car and other vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As sobering as this statistic is, it simply reflects the reality of car accident injuries and fatalities in America: more than 2,500,000 people suffer car accident injuries in the U.S. each year.

All vehicle drivers and passengers - teenagers, children and adults - are vulnerable to car accident injuries. The U.S. population puts in hundreds of millions of miles on the road each year, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that about 5,973,000 car accidents occurred in 2006. The economic cost of vehicle crashes is upwards of $250 billion each year, for damages such as lost productivity, medical costs, and disability care.

Types of Injuries
Because of the size and speed of the vehicles on our roadways today, car accident injuries can be extremely damaging and may include:

• Broken bones
• Permanent disfigurement
• Loss of limb(s)
• Internal bleeding
• Paralysis
• Brain damage
• Neck and spinal cord injury
• Loss of life

The Costs of Car Accident Injuries
Recovering from injuries or the loss of a loved one in a car accident can take months, years, a lifetime, or the recovery may never be complete. The costs to an individual from a car accident injury may be eligible for financial compensation. Damages that may be recovered typically include:

• hospital, ER, and longer-term medical expenses
• disability
• loss of income (temporary or permanent)
• pain and suffering
• funeral & burial costs, the loss of companionship, and loss of financial support (in fatal crashes)
