Sacramento County Car Accident Lawyers
Sacramento County Car Accidents
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than six million car accidents happen every year in the United States. Not surprisingly, the NHTSA also reports that every American will be involved in at least one car accident in their lifetime. Although not every car accident is severe, many end tragically. Preventable car accidents take thousands of lives and injure many more.
If you have been seriously injured in a Sacramento County car accident, there is help available to you. Estey Bomberger's Sacramento County car accident attorneys understand the challenges victims face following a tragic accident. You may have had to take time off work because of your injury and are now suffering financially because of the cost of treating your injuries. We can ease your financial burdens by obtaining monetary compensation to help cover the costs associated with your injuries. Your medicine, medical equipment, rehabilitation and surgeries may be compensated in a personal injury claim settlement. You may also receive money for lost wages, lost benefits, physical pain and emotional suffering.
Driver Negligence
While there are many causes of car accidents, the most common is driver negligence. When a driver fails to keep other motorists from harm because of their actions, they may be found to have acted negligently or recklessly. Types of driver negligence include:
- A driver who gets behind the wheel of a car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- A driver who falls asleep while driving
- A driver who, in a fit of road rage, intentionally causes an accident
- A driver who ignores posted speed limits
- A driver who applies makeup while driving
- A driver who texts or makes a call on a cell phone while driving
- A driver who swerves in and out of lanes without signaling.
Types of Sacramento County Car Accident Injuries
Drivers and passengers may suffer from various types of injuries, including open or closed head injuries, such as hemorrhages, aneurysms, concussion, hematomas and contusions. Head injury survivors may suffer from permanent brain damage, which can change their personality, behavior and ability to function without assistance. Many motorists suffer from amputation injuries, which can result in the loss of a limb. Blunt trauma injuries, broken bone injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, quadriplegia, back injuries, cuts, scrapes, bruises and death are additional types of injuries a motorist can suffer from in a car accident.
