Rear-end collisions on I-65 can be terrifying, as they can happen at high speeds and leave you with serious injuries. Even if a rear-end accident happens in heavy traffic, such as during rush hour or during the weekend when people are heading to the coast, the sudden impact from behind can result in costly injuries and losses.
At the Law Office of Richard F. Matthews, Jr., we understand the toll these injuries can have on your life. Our Montgomery car accident attorney represents clients injured in I-65 crashes, and we can assess your best options.
Whiplash is the most common injury associated with rear-end collisions on I-65. This injury occurs when the head is jerked forward and backward abruptly, putting a strain on the neck muscles and ligaments.
Symptoms of whiplash may include:
It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms after a rear-end collision.
Another common injury in rear-end collisions is damage to the spinal cord. The impact of the collision can cause fractures or dislocations in the vertebrae, leading to loss of sensation and function in various parts of the body. Spinal injuries can have long-lasting effects on the victim's quality of life, potentially resulting in paralysis or chronic pain. Treatment for spinal injuries often involves surgery, physical therapy, and ongoing medical care.
The force of a rear-end collision can also cause head and brain injuries. These injuries range from concussions to more severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Symptoms of head and brain injuries may include headaches, dizziness, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, and changes in mood or behavior. Always seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms after an accident, as these injuries are invisible but prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further complications.
Facial injuries are another common result of rear-end collisions on I-65. These injuries can range from minor cuts and lacerations to more severe fractures and disfigurement. The impact of the collision can cause the face to strike the steering wheel, dashboard, or airbag, leading to significant trauma. Treatment for facial injuries may involve surgery, dental work, and ongoing medical care to restore both function and appearance.
When you have serious injuries from a rear-end crash, you need serious legal representation. Insurers often discount these collisions as “fender benders,” but at the Law Office of Richard F. Matthews, Jr., we know how much the resulting injuries can affect your life.
We can determine liability and seek compensation for your medical bills and other losses. We present your claim in a persuasive manner and negotiate for the full financial recovery you deserve.
