Drunk Driving Accident Injuries

Drunk driving accidents can cause devastating injuries to the victim and the driver. In many cases, the drunk driver fails to slow down before impact, causing a high-speed collision. Even if you are not immediately aware of your injuries, the sheer force of the accident may cause serious internal injuries or tissue damage that appears days, or weeks, later. That is why it is important to seek immediate medical attention after any car accident.

After your examination, the doctor will determine an appropriate course of treatment. Their documentation will be useful during your legal proceedings. Ideally, you want as much medical proof of your injuries as possible so the defendant cannot deny your version of events.

Additionally, an accurate medical diagnosis will be necessary when it comes time to negotiate an appropriate settlement. The last thing you want is to have unforeseen medical complications after you have already settled.

Drunk driving accident injuries may include:

  • Whiplash
  • Concussions
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Injuries to the lower back, including herniated disks
  • Damage to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons
  • Burns
  • Lacerations
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal injuries
  • Mental health conditions due to the psychological impact of the accident
