Dangers of Deep Lacerations
During a car accident, pieces of the vehicles that are involved may break loose from the shells of the cars and fly around the scene. At the same time, loose items inside the car can fly forward at rapid speed. Any of these items could strike an occupant and result in significant cuts or lacerations.
Sometimes, posts or other items can pierce the shell of the car, leading to puncture wounds for those inside the vehicle. Any of these types of injuries can lead to a significant blood loss. Without immediate first aid, the victim could suffer a number of health issues related to blood loss.
Symptoms of Shock
After significant blood loss, a person may go into shock, according to Mayo Clinic. The symptoms of shock may include:
- Weakness
- Pale skin
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling dizzy or throwing up
- Irregular heartbeat
Once a person goes into shock, the body’s organs may begin to shut down, as they are not receiving the oxygenated blood they need to function.
If you suffered significant blood loss, you could have health problems because of organ damage, leaving you needing medications or ongoing doctor’s care, potentially for the remainder of your life.

Dangers of Significant Bruising
Another common injury for victims of car accidents is bruising, also called abrasions. Bruising can form after a blunt trauma injury, such as the body hitting the steering wheel, back of a seat, or dashboard. Although a bruise does not sound like a significant injury, it can develop into something serious without care.
A contusion may also indicate some type of internal bleeding. Internal bleeding can be related to multiple injuries that may require immediate treatment. In some cases, if doctors do not diagnose an internal bleeding problem quickly enough, the victim could go into shock or pass away. This is why it is so important to seek medical care as quickly as possible after a significant car accident. Even though you may feel fine right after the crash, you could have internal injuries that need to be diagnosed.

The Statute of Limitations in Georgia
According to O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, victims have a general two-year statute of limitations to file a personal injury lawsuit in Georgia. The clock starts running on the date of the accident. There may be circumstances that could alter the deadline in some cases, but in general, a failure to take legal action within the statute of limitations for your case means that your lawsuit could be dismissed.
A representative of Bader Law Injury Lawyers can give you specific information about what deadlines pertain to your case when you call. We recommend contacting us as early as possible after the crash.
