Traffic collisions are highly traumatic events that can shake you mentally and can also cause severe physical injuries. While the injuries sustained by each car accident victim can vary widely, the following are some examples of injuries that commonly result from crashes:

• Broken bones and compound fractures;
• Skull or facial fractures;
• Traumatic brain injury and concussions;
• Whiplash and other neck injuries;
• Back injuries;
• Spinal cord injury;
• Internal injuries.

All of the above injuries require medical attention, and many accident victims need emergency trauma care and may be hospitalized for a period of time. Even if you are discharged from the emergency department, you will still face a log road to recovery. Any type of injury can result in pain and restrictions on your daily life. You may need to rest due to a concussion, a back injury may prevent you from lifting anything, or a broken leg may keep you from driving. All of these can affect many aspects of your life and result in a variety of losses including medical bills and lost income.

It is natural to want to focus on your physical recovery right after a car accident. However, it is important to realize that there are often strict time limits to seek compensation for your accident-related losses. In Florida, your initial method of seeking payment is to file a claim with your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, which must be done within 14 days of a crash. It is wise to have an attorney handle the PIP claim process for you, so you should always call a car accident law firm as soon as possible.
