Blunt Force Trauma Suffered in Dallas-Fort Worth Accidents
Blunt force trauma is commonly suffered by both drivers and passengers in serious car crashes and truck wrecks, as well as by motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians who have been involved in Dallas-Fort Worth traffic collisions. Other accidents which may result in blunt force trauma injuries include sports accidents, equestrian accidents, workplace injuries, falls and other vehicle accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident where someone else was to blame, you should seek the counsel of a Dallas-Fort Worth personal injury lawyer who will be able to discuss your personal situation and explain your legal right to seek compensation.
People who have suffered blunt force trauma in auto collisions typically suffer blunt abdominal trauma (BAT) which is usually caused by rapid deceleration and impact of the individual against the steering wheel or dashboard of the vehicle. Blunt abdominal trauma is commonly associated with damage to the liver and spleen which often necessitates significant medical treatment. A board certified injury attorney can help you to recover the cost of such doctor and hospital bills if your injuries were the result of an accident which was not your fault.
In other accident scenarios, such as those involving motorcycle riders or cyclists, they do not have any of the protection that a modern car or truck does, so their bodies are even more vulnerable to the impact of both other vehicle and stationary objects. In all instances of blunt force trauma, progressive damage to internal organs is a concern so it is vital that you seek immediate medical attention.
Medical issues commonly associated with blunt force trauma include cardiac arrest, internal bruising, hemorrhaging, concussions, abrasions, lacerations and broken or fractured bones. Blunt force trauma can affect all areas of the body.
