Most people associate accidents with broken bones and shaken nerves. However, a traumatic accident can cause far more severe personal injury, such as brain damage or paralysis.

A Kentucky accident can take the form of a  car crash,  a house fire, a farm disaster, or even an amusement park catastrophe, all of which can cause  emotional trauma and physical damage.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a preventable accident, you may be facing months or even years of physical therapy as well as mounting medical bills.

However, you can take solace in the fact that you may be eligible for monetary compensation if your injury is a result of someone else’s error.

To see if you have a case worth pursuing, call an experienced Louisville injury lawyer at 502-210-8942 or toll free at 1-800-634-8767. The attorneys at Gray and White Law have successfully pursued hundreds of cases like yours, and will fight to make sure your rights are protected.

Broken Bones
Individuals often break their bones during accidents.  Injuries such as fractured ribs, dislocated shoulders or broken vertebrae can lead to months of pain.

While most broken bones heal after a few months in a cast, others may require expensive surgery followed by physical therapy to regain muscle movement. Shattered bones may also require  the insertion of a screw or rod into the body to help the bone heal.

Brain Injury
A blow to the head from a car accident or a nasty fall can cause a traumatic brain injury. Symptoms vary greatly, so check with your doctor immediately following any type of head injury.

Some brain injuries are temporary and may be reversed with years of therapy. Others leave permanent damage. In the United States today, more than  three million people live with disabilities related to a traumatic brain injury.

Paralysis
When most people think of paralysis, they imagine the lifeless limbs of an older person who has experienced  a stroke. While that does occur, a stroke is only one of two leading causes of paralysis. The other is trauma.

Any incidence of trauma, in particular trauma to the brain, spinal cord or nervous system, can immediately render a person paralyzed.

Paralysis may be partial or complete, temporary or permanent. Temporary paralysis may involve years of therapy to relearn basic movements. Permanent paralysis may require a remodeled home and adjusting to a new way of life.

Diseases that affect the nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis or spina bifida, may also lead to paralysis.

Burns
Severe burns put 60,000 people in the hospital each year in the U.S., and 5,000 people die annually from burn-related injuries.

Such injuries can occur in house fires that start with  burning candles or gas explosions. Also, individuals can sustain  chemical and electrical burns from work-related accidents.

Common household incidents can leave burn scars, particularly for young children who are still learning the concept of “hot.” Typical sources of preventable child burns include a hot stove or oven, boiling water, a clothes iron, a curling iron or a fireplace.

Blindness
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. They are most often associated with the elderly, and more than half of all Americans aged 80 years and older have had at least one cataract or  surgery to remove cataracts.

Eye doctors frequently check for cataracts and glaucoma, another common cause of blindness. Early detection can treat either condition, but both can lead to blindness if left untreated.

Other causes of blindness include diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetes, which can lead to diabetic retinopathy. An eye injury resulting from a blow to the head can also leave a person blind.

Many cases of blindness can be avoided or cured with surgery or laser treatment if the underlying cause becomes apparent early enough.

Amputations
In people over 65, amputations are typically due to a disease, such as peripheral vascular disease or complications from diabetes.

Amputations in younger people often result from a traumatic event such as a car accident or a work incident involving heavy machinery.

In some cases the amputated limb may be as small as a finger, the loss of which simply requires adapting to physical limitations. Other cases may require costly prosthetics and numerous physical therapy sessions to learn how to use the artificial limb.

Death
In some cases, a traumatic accident leads to death. If you have lost a loved one due to a preventable accident or misdiagnosed disease, you may be entitled to compensation as next of kin.
Or, if you or a family member has been injured, you may be able to sue for monetary damages to help pay for medical bills, therapy sessions and more.
