When accidents happen due to someone else’s negligence, the physical and emotional consequences can be devastating. At Frenkel & Frenkel, our experienced Dallas, TX personal injury lawyers have handled countless cases involving a wide range of injuries. Here’s a breakdown of the most common injuries we see in personal injury claims—and how they impact victims:
Common Types of Personal Injuries:
Whiplash & Neck Injuries
Frequently caused by car accidents, especially rear-end collisions. Victims often suffer stiffness, limited mobility, and chronic pain.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Head trauma from vehicle accidents, falls, or workplace injuries can cause memory loss, cognitive issues, and long-term disability.
Broken Bones & Fractures
These are typical in slip and fall and car accident cases. Fractures may require surgery and months of rehabilitation.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Damage to the spine can lead to partial or total paralysis. These injuries often result in permanent lifestyle changes and costly medical care.
Burn Injuries
Whether from defective products or auto accidents, burns can lead to severe pain, scarring, and emotional trauma.
Soft Tissue Damage
Strains, sprains, and torn ligaments are common in falls or physical impacts, and they can cause lingering pain and movement limitations.
Internal Injuries
Internal bleeding and organ damage may not be immediately visible but can be life-threatening without urgent medical treatment.
Cuts, Lacerations, and Abrasions
Often seen in dog bites, bike crashes, or premises liability cases—these can lead to infections and permanent scarring.
Emotional Distress & PTSD
Many accident victims suffer anxiety, depression, or PTSD—affecting their quality of life long after the injury.
Wrongful Death
In tragic cases, an accident results in death. Surviving family members can pursue a wrongful death claim for justice and compensation.
