Automobile Accident Injury in Fresno

Types of car accident injuries in Fresno range from relatively minor to serious.  Minor injuries include cuts, scrapes, and bruises.  Other injuries generally require more extensive recovery time and may result in temporary or permanent disability.

• Whiplash:  Whiplash is a painful but relatively minor Fresno auto accident injury.  Recovery time is likely to be longer than that of cuts and bruises and physical therapy may be needed to reduce pain.
• Knee damage and broken bones:  The severity of these types of Fresno automobile accident injuries depends on what happened to the knee or bone during the collision and the extent of the impact.  Knee and bone damage can be relatively minor, or bones can be crushed or broken to the extent that surgery is needed to repair the damage.  There is the potential for lifelong discomfort or loss of full functionality from an injury of this type.  Victims may need assistance to care for themselves or their families during the recovery period.
• Back, spine and neck injuries:  The consequences can be serious when the back, spine, or neck is involved in a Fresno car accident injury.  While it is certainly possible to return to full functionality at some point after injuries like these, it is also possible to sustain long-term or even permanent paralysis.  Either way, there is a strong likelihood that the victim must undergo extensive medical and psychological treatment and therapy, be unable to work, and need extensive assistance during the recovery period or even for life.
• Brain injury:  Possibly the most serious auto accident injury in Fresno involves the brain.  Since the brain is the control center for all functions of the body, a brain injury can affect speech, the senses, and the ability to move limbs that are not actually damaged.  Brain injury victims have a strong likelihood of losing their ability to work and may need medical and psychological assistance and therapy.  They may also require long-term or lifetime care.
