Catastrophic Injuries Caused in Car Accidents

Car accidents can result in serious injuries that can affect a person's life forever. John M. O'Brien & Associates, P.C. is dedicated to helping people who have suffered catastrophic injuries recover the compensation they need to get adequate treatment and move forward with their lives. Injuries that we have seen result from motor vehicle accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Broken or crushed bones
• Severe burns
• Lost limbs
• Wrongful death

From minor sprains and strains of the structures that support the spinal cord to herniated discs and injury to the spinal cord itself, virtually every automobile accident case that we handle involves some aspect of injuries to the anatomy of the spinal cord and surrounding tissue. A serious injury to the spine is one of the most severe injuries a person can sustain in any type of accident. The effects are permanent and can result in a complete life change.

Common Causes of Auto Accidents

There are a number of ways in which a car accident can occur. Some of the leading causes include the following:

• Defective auto parts
• Tire blowouts
• Drunk driving
• Reckless driving
• Driver fatigue
• Driver distraction
