Here are some of the most common types of car accident injuries we see:

Broken Bones

Broken wrists, arms, ankles, legs and ribs are all common in car accidents. Simple breaks are generally treated with a cast followed by physical therapy once the cast is removed to regain full range of motion. More serious breaks may require surgery to repair, again followed by physical therapy. If a broken bone pierces the skin, it is known as a compound fracture. In either case, you may be referred to an orthopedic specialist.

Lacerations (Cuts)

Broken glass, torn sheet metal or flying objects inside the car can all cause lacerations or cuts. Simple cuts may heal on their own or with a few stitches. Deep lacerations may result in blood loss and require surgery to repair. Scarring may result from cuts and require surgery to minimize visible scars, especially if the scars are on the face or neck.

Internal Injuries

Injuries to internal organs may occur if the car crash forces your body into an object like the steering wheel or if you are hit by flying debris from inside or outside the vehicle. These injuries result in internal bleeding and must be treated promptly.

Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Any blow to the head may cause swelling in the brain. If this swelling is severe, it may result in permanent injury. If you believe you hit your head in a car accident, it is important to tell the paramedics that respond to the accident. While the swelling may begin immediately after the accident, the injured party may not feel any effects or exhibit any symptoms until some time has passed. This is sometimes called the “lucid interval.” Immediate treatment of all head injuries is very important.

Spine, Back & Neck Injuries

Whiplash is a very common neck injury in car accidents. It is caused by the motion of the accident moving your head and neck outside its normal range and straining ligaments, muscles and tendons. Because bones are not involved in a whiplash injury, it may be referred to as a soft tissue injury. Spinal injuries may result in severe pain, loss of sensation or movement or in temporary or permanent paralysis. Paralysis involving the lower body is called paraplegia, while paralysis involving the arms and shoulders is called quadriplegia.

  • Very Capable Trial Attorney

    Renier or "Ray" as he calls himself represented me for a DUI in Palm Beach County and at first I was not thrilled about the idea of going to trial. However, Ray made me feel comfortable and explained the pros and cons of having a trial. We had the trial and he got me a NOT GUILTY. I was very happy but glad that the process was finally over. He could have kept me a bit more informed regarding the discussions he had with the state attorney about my case. Overall though, I would definitely recommend him to someone.

  • Renier got me a great resolution to my case.

    I retained Mr. Ledezma for my DUI case about a month ago. It was my second DUI arrest in a few years. Renier did a great job and explained the process to me and did not make promises he could not keep. There was a chance I would not get another reckless so my expectations were kept at a reasonable level. However, he found some weaknesses in the case and ended up getting me a reckless instead of a DUI conviction. I was impressed with Mr. Ledezma because he was very straightforward and showed that he cared. I would definitely recommend him because he is sincere in his efforts and cares about his clients.

  • Very aggressive and cared about getting the nest result.

    I fell down at Walmart about a year ago and hurt my back. I received medical treatment and brought it to Walmart's attention. However, when Walmart received my letter and medical records they said they were not responsible. My friend retained Renier for his personal injury matter and recommended him. When I spoke to Renier he was very helpful and explained the process to me. He didn't make any promises besides he would work very hard to get me a good settlement. He filed a demand letter and negotiated with Walmart for over 6 months when he eventually got me a great settlement. He was great because I was able to call him for questions even on the weekends. I could tell he cared about making me happy and getting me a great result. I highly recommend him to anyone else in my position.

  • Great Attorney and cares about his clients.

    Mr. Ledezma assisted me with my battery case and fought hard for me. He did not recommend accepting the first offer and it turned out he was correct. I ended up getting a much better deal which minimized the costs associated with my plea agreement and long-term consequences. More importantly, Mr. Ledezma by his actions really showed he cared and made me feel like I was more then just another client. A great experience and I would highly recommend him for anyone.

  • An excellent, reliable, knowledgeable, considerate, hard working attorney. I would never, ever use another attorney.

    It is rare in this day and age to find an attorney that is dignified, caring and kept me up to date the entire time. He exceeded my expectations, which are quite high. Ray did not miss a beat in any part of the client/attorney relationship. If you need an attorney, this is the attorney you should choose. You will not be disappointed.
