Common Injuries in a Kennesaw Uber Accident
Kennesaw has a relatively eclectic population. With several highly rated schools, it is a desired location for families with young children, college students from Kennesaw State University, young professionals, and more mature and established families on the West side of Hwy 41.
This leads to drivers on Kennesaw roads who run the gambit of driving experience, making Kennesaw car accident statistics slightly unusual. However, the injuries we see in car accidents involving Uber drivers are not so unusual.
Head and Neck Injuries
Head and neck injuries are not uncommon in accidents of any type. Many people may experience symptoms of whiplash or soft tissue injuries caused when your head goes forward and then snaps back (or vice versa). When this force throws your head into something, it may cause lacerations, concussion, or traumatic brain injuries.
Internal Injuries
The force of the sudden stop on impact in a car accident can cause injuries all over the body. If your seatbelt slips to your stomach instead of your hips, it may cause internal bleeding or organ damage. Internal injuries can also happen in rollovers or any accident that puts force on the abdomen.
Broken Bones
Broken bones are, unfortunately, common in Kennesaw Uber accidents. We often see injury victims sustain broken bones in the face from hitting the airbag or steering wheel, as well as a broken clavicle from the seatbelt. Other common broken bones include spinal vertebrae and bones in the hands and wrists
Compensation You Can Recover from Your Uber Accident in Kennesaw
Most Kennesaw Uber Accident cases aim to recover compensation and hold responsible parties accountable. The specific damages you may claim will vary depending on the circumstances of your accident.
However, some damages you may consider include:
- Medical bills
- Assistive medical devices
- Pain and Suffering
- Lost Wages
You may not claim damages for all of these, or you may claim damages for other relevant losses. You may receive the maximum compensation by successfully negotiating with Uber’s insurance carrier.
In circumstances that result in the loss of a loved one, you may even consider speaking with an attorney about filing a wrongful death claim to provide compensation for your loss of support and companionship.
