Accident injuries can range anywhere from minor scrapes and bruises to severe brain or spinal cord damage. In the most severe crashes, the injuries may ultimately lead to death. If you are injured in a London auto accident, you may suffer extreme pain and emotional distress, require a splint, cast, or surgery, and be unable to work for months, or even years, after the accident. An experienced London auto accident attorney can help ensure that you get full compensation for your injuries.

Common Injuries

There are several injuries that are common to auto accidents. Some are catastrophic injuries that leave London auto accident victims unable to function the same as they did before the accident. Others, while seemingly minor, may prevent accident victims from enjoying the same activities they enjoyed before being involved in the accident. The most common types of injuries in London auto accidents include:

• Whiplash
• Fractures and broken bones
• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injury (SCI)
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Death

Passenger & Pedestrian Injuries

If you sustain injuries while riding as a passenger in a vehicle involved in an auto accident in London, Irvine, Richmond, or anywhere in Laurel, Estill, or Madison Counties, you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. As a passenger, you may have a claim against both the driver of the vehicle you were riding in, as well as the drivers of any other vehicles involved in the collision. If you are a pedestrian involved in a London auto accident, you may be able to recover from the driver of the vehicle in a single-vehicle crash or from all drivers if more than one vehicle is involved in the accident. It is possible for a third party to be held responsible for injuries in pedestrian-motor vehicle accidents. For example, if the accident was the result of a malfunctioning crossing signal or traffic light, it may be possible to hold the municipality responsible for failing to adequately maintain or repair the light.
