Injuries in San Francisco Car Accidents

The injuries sustained in a San Francisco car accident may give way to numerous problems for a victim. The burden of dealing with the physical injuries alone may be extremely difficult, but a car accident may have emotional and financial effects as well. The legal team at Pacific Attorney Group is committed to helping car accident victims rebuild and recover from all negative consequences of a car accident, including those that involve physical injury, emotional trauma and financial complications.

The type and extent of injury sustained in any car accident will vary depending on the type of accident and the vehicles involved. The type of accident, such as a head-on, side impact or rear-end collision, will influence where the vehicle is impacted. The vehicles involved, such as a large truck, bus, motorcycle or another car will influence which vehicle will sustain the most damage. These factors, along with the speed and force of impact and the crashworthiness of both vehicles, will determine what injuries a victim may sustain. These injuries may include:
Head trauma
Facial injuries
Dental injuries
Damaged internal organs
Internal bleeding
Multiple broken bones
Spinal cord injuries
