Injured individuals may require extensive hospitalization and long-term rehabilitation. Common injuries suffered in accidents can include the following:

• Sprains, strains, whiplash
• Bone fractures, dislocations
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injury, paraplegia, quadriplegia
• Amputations or death
• Severe illness
• Coma

If negligence or reckless activity is the cause of an accident, the responsible party may be liable to the injured victim for damages. The damages may cover medical costs, lost earnings, property damage, and pain and suffering. Some accidents are so severe that the injuries suffered by the victim result in loss of life. The surviving family member may sue for wrongful death for their loss and suffering. Most accidents have insurance coverage but often it is not adequate to compensate for the physical and emotional pain and loss. Insurance companies typically attempt to downplay injuries and settle quickly, with the settlement amounts less than the worth of the injury.
