They say there are more cars than people in Los Angeles. With more than 14.6 million registered vehicles in the state of California, a car accident in LA is bound to happen.
A car accident can happen at any time, without warning. Drivers who are speeding, running red lights and stop signs, texting or not paying attention can cause accidents with long-lasting consequences. An accident like this is frequently due to someone else’s negligence. If it happens to you, it’s time to call Levian Law.
Possible Car Accident Injuries
Injuries from a car accident can range from minor to severe. Ironically, it’s not just drivers and passengers that can be injured. Pedestrians, bystanders, bicyclists and motorcyclists can be hurt by the impact or even from airborne bits of wreckage.
As a driver or passenger, the one thing you can do is buckle your seatbelt. The California Office of Traffic Safety reports that in 2016, there were 3,623 fatalities on the roads in 2016, an increase of 7 percent from 3,387 in 2015. The 2015 Mileage Death Rate (MDR), a figure consisting of fatalities per 100 million miles traveled, is now at 1.01 in the state.
You are most likely to suffer injuries like:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Whiplash
- Amputations
- Internal injuries/bleeding
- Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD)
This is in addition to the damage to your automobile, motorcycle or other vehicles (bicycle, scooter, etc.)
The first thing you need to do is get medical attention after an accident, even if you have no obvious injury. Many accident-related problems don’t show symptoms right away, such as a concussion or whiplash. Internal bleeding may not be obvious for some time.
