Traffic Accidents in Fort Worth Can Cause Damages and Injuries

Traffic accidents here in the Fort Worth Dallas Arlington metroplex happen every day. Hearing about them on the local news is a usual occurrence. We've almost become numb to the fact that traffic wrecks happen to other people. But the national statistics show that we are all likely going to become involved in a traffic incident at some time or another in our life. There are more than 6 million auto wrecks each year, with almost 3 million resulting personal injuries and approximately 42,000 crash related deaths.

One of the most common types of accidents we see at the Anderson Law Firm in Fort Worth is rear end collisions that occur in congested traffic. The main highways around the DFW metroplex, such as LBJ Loop 635, Loop 820, Interstates 35W, 35E, 20 and 30, and Highways 121 and 183, all have periods of stop and go traffic. What usually occurs is someone is just not paying attention, maybe talking on their cell phone or texting and they simply run into the back end of the car in front of them. This failure to pay attention is an act of negligence and if you are injured, you can make a claim on the responsible driver's liability insurance policy for payment of your damages. These damages include damage to your car, yourself and any passengers you might have in your vehicle. Click here for an analysis of the damages recoverable in an automobile accident case.

Rear end collisions often produce a large amount of property damage to the vehicles. If the wreck ruins the bumper of the front car, that usually means at least $1,200 in damage alone. But often, the damage does not end there and other parts of the auto are damaged. If the damage exceeds the value of the car, it will be deemed a "total loss" and that is all the damage reimbursement the front car passenger will receive for their damaged vehicle.

Rear end wrecks can cause serious personal injury to the occupants of the front car. Even if the driver and the passengers are wearing their seatbelts, their bodies are still forced back and forth in their car. This whipping action usually causes a "whiplash" effect at the very least and can lead to much more serious injuries. Your spine is not designed to absorb that type of impact and at the Anderson Law Firm we see other, serious injuries such as bulging and herniated discs. Sometimes the only remedy for these injuries is surgery. The shoulder and knee are also commonly injured in read end collisions, as they either hit part of the car or are injured by the jerking experienced when the car is impacted.

If you have been injured in a traffic accident, you are entitled to receive compensation for your injuries. At the Anderson Law Firm, we offer free, no obligation consultations for accident victims. These consultations can be on the phone or in person.
