The Common Types of Facial Injuries | What Must You Show to Recover Compensation?
It’s fairly common, in a motor vehicle accident, for there to be some type of facial trauma. There may be flying glass or other objects, or you may hit the windshield, a mirror or some other stationary object. Facial injuries can be painful, but can also leave emotional scars. When you have sustained any kind to trauma to your face in an accident, the Law Office of Michael R. De La Paz can help.
The Typical Facial Injuries Suffered in Car, Truck and Motorcycle Accidents
Facial injuries are one of the most common consequences of a motor vehicle accident, with the American Journal of Emergency Medicine reporting the more than half (51%) of all victims of auto accidents seeking treatment for facial trauma. Though a motor vehicle wreck can lead to a wide range of injuries, from eye injuries to burns to a dislocated jaw, the specific types of trauma generally fall into three categories:
- Soft-tissue injury, such as cuts, abrasions and potential scarring
- Facial fractures, including orbital bones, jaw bones and broken noses
- Contusions and internal bleeding
What Must You Show to Recover Compensation for Facial Injuries after an Accident?
In most personal injury lawsuits, your claim will be based on allegations of negligence—that the defendant did not act as a reasonable person would have. You must show that the failure to act accordingly caused the accident, and that you suffered injuries as a result.
