Common Types of Auto Accidents

Car accidents are an everyday occurrence on roads across the country. Several million people are injured every year in the United States due to auto accidents, and some of them result in fatalities. Some of the most common types of accidents you will see on Illinois roads and highways include: 

• Rear-end collisions
• Head-end collisions
• Hit-and-run accidents
• Side-impact accidents
• Rollovers

Insurance companies are supposed to compensate victims when their insureds cause a car accident. However, some unscrupulous companies will drag out handling your claim in hopes that you will get tired of waiting and accept a lower settlement amount just to resolve the case. 

When you retain the Freeport car accident attorneys at Brassfield, Krueger & Ramlow, Ltd., our team will handle negotiations with the other side’s insurance company and keep you from having to settle for less than you deserve. We use our powerful resources to strengthen your claim and make sure the insurance company is not engaging in unreasonable delays.

Importance of Seeking Medical Treatment Right Away

Even if you do not feel your injuries are severe after the accident, it is important to seek medical treatment right away. It can take days before some injuries become visible. Seeking medical treatment can help your case by not giving the other insurance company an excuse to claim your injuries were not serious, or they are not related to the accident in question.

Common Types of Injuries in a Freeport Car Accident

Some common types of injuries seen in Freeport car accidents can include:

• Neck and Back Injuries: Neck injuries can be mild like whiplash or serious, like a disc injury. You may not feel the pain from these injuries right away due to adrenaline, which is why you should still see a medical doctor. Back injuries are much like neck injuries and may not appear right away. Injuries can include everything from a back strain to nerve injury.
• Head Injuries: Closed head injuries are common as the brain can be rattled inside the skull, which can cause everything from a mild concussion to a traumatic brain injury.

Some accident victims also suffer psychological trauma that can result in things like panic attacks, nightmares, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more.
