Have You Suffered One of These Injuries in an Iowa Accident?

No one else is suffering the exact same injury that you are suffering because of your recent accident. The injury that you are suffering is personal and based on the type of accident that resulted in your injury, how the incident occurred, and other factors.

While every injury is unique, there are some common injuries that are suffered in personal injury incidents. If you have suffered any of the injuries described below then we encourage you to reach out to us directly at any of our Iowa locations in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, or Davenport.

Significant Injuries to Watch For

Some of the common consequences of personal injury incidents include:

• Amputations. The loss of a toe, foot, leg, finger, hand, or arm can be devastating whether it happens at the accident scene or later due to an accident injury.
• Brain injuries. A brain injury can be life-changing, but how it changes your life depends on the specific area of the brain that was hurt. Accident victims may suffer from physical, emotional, cognitive, language, and other difficulties after a brain injury.
• Broken bones. Broken bones may heal within weeks, or they may take longer depending on the complexity of the break, the specific bone that was broken, and your overall health.
• Burns. Burn injuries can be extremely painful and require ongoing medical treatment to manage pain, to treat scars and to prevent infection.
• Spinal cord or back injuries. A complete spinal cord injury will leave you paralyzed below the point of injury. An incomplete spinal cord injury can result in changes in sensation, movement, and other bodily functions. Back injuries that do not involve the spinal cord can also be painful and limit your ability to complete activities of daily living.
• Pregnancy complications. Both pregnant women and the babies that they are carrying are at risk of suffering significant and potentially life-threatening injuries in personal injury accidents.

Additionally, you may be suffering because of a loved one’s wrongful death in a personal injury incident.
