Types of Injuries in Single Vehicle Accidents

There are many types of serious injuries that come about in a single vehicle accident, as these crashes often involve impact with a fixed object or a rollover. No vehicle safety system can completely protect a driver or passenger in an impact or rollover.

The injuries sustained in these types of accident can include head injuries, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, crush injuries, internal organ damage, disfiguring injuries, amputations, fractures, and death.

Causes of Single Vehicle Accidents

Some single vehicle accidents are the result of driver error, either speeding, drunk driving, or other unsafe behavior. Others are associated with the failure of a critical safety component such as brakes, tires, accelerator, or other systems.

When an auto manufacturer, parts manufacturer, dealership, or other party has provided a consumer with an unsafe vehicle, it is important that legal action is filed to recover damages.

Some single car accidents are related to unsafe roads and various governmental bodies could be held accountable. Our 80 person support team includes accident investigators that can carefully evaluate every component on the vehicle that may have contributed to the accident. When there is a faulty or defective part or design element, our firm can take action to pursue full damages.

Compensation: What are the Potential Damages?

single-vehicle-car-accident5 The damages in a personal injury case involving a faulty vehicle or vehicle part will vary, based upon the level of injuries sustained, and the long term consequences to the victim. Each case must be reviewed and evaluated to determine the value of the settlement that will be pursued.

If the accident was related to a single faulty item, it may be solved in a different manner than those in which many vehicles had the same defect. Some larger cases lead to a class action suit in which all victims band together to pursue compensation.

single-vehicle-car-accident6 Even in these cases, having your own attorney is a critical point that can impact the final value of a settlement. The case may go to court, in which case, having an aggressive and talented litigator is extremely important.

Our legal team is skilled, aggressive, and has a record of positive settlements and verdicts. Both economic and non-economic damages will be pursued and in cases in which the defective auto part or system were known and hidden, it may be possible to pursue punitive damages – those intended to punish. We can advise you about your case immediately.
