After an accident, the injury victim is left dealing with the pain of their injuries and is forced to seek medical treatment. When someone else is to blame for the accident, the person responsible should be held accountable for the damage caused. A personal injury lawsuit will allow the injury victim to get compensation for their pain and suffering, cost of medical bills, and other damages caused by the accident.

Injuries in a personal injury lawsuit can range from minor to permanent. Some injuries can be treated quickly while others require multiple surgeries, continual monitoring, and permanent loss of function. Some serious injuries people suffer in an accident include:

Shock

Shock refers to the body’s reaction when the major organs and tissues do not get enough blood flow to function properly. Shock can be caused by a number of factors, including infection, blood loss after an accident, or interruption with the circulatory system caused by a medical mistake during surgery. Shock includes hemorrhagic shock and hypovolemic shock.

Sepsis and Septicemia

Sepsis is an inflammatory immune response to infection. Sepsis that goes on untreated can lead to septicemia, organ damage, and death. 

Infection Shock

Serious infections or infections in people with compromised immune systems can continue to harm the body until the body goes into shock. Left untreated, shock can lead to organ failure and death. 

Bacteremia

Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood. Bacteremia can be a dangerous condition that causes tissue damage, sepsis, and septic shock. If bacteremia is not treated, it can lead to organ damage and death. 

SIRS Systemic Inflammatory Response

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a bodily response to infections and noninfectious causes. When an infection goes untreated or improperly treated, it can lead to sepsis, septic shock, organ damage, and death. 

Treatment of Injuries in a Personal Injury Claim

Medical treatment for accident injuries is a way to attempt to repair damage or remediate a health problem. Treatments and therapy can include a one-time visit to the doctor or require life-long care. Treatments in personal injury cases may include: 

  • Amputation
  • Wheelchair
  • Mobility Devices
  • Prosthetics 
  • Physical Therapy
  • Speech Therapy
