Ejections During Car Accidents

    ATLANTA, GA, April 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Being ejected from a car in a car accident is not nearly as uncommon as you might think. Some studies have found that ejections occur in as many as 25 percent of all car accidents. The best way to prevent an ejection during a car accident is by wearing your seatbelt and driving a car with airbags. However, seatbelts and airbags can fail and may not prevent ejections in all cases.

If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed following ejection from a vehicle in a car accident, you may have a right to seek substantially more than insurance companies are willing to offer. A car accident attorney can investigate the cause of both an accident and ejection to determine where liability should lie. If your injuries were caused by the negligence of another driver or a faulty car part, you may be entitled to a large settlement that covers all medical expenses, lost wages, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Dangers of Ejection During Car Accidents

Any car accident can be dangerous, but ejections lead to some of the most catastrophic injuries. When a car suddenly stops moving, those inside the car will continue moving at the previous speed until they are stopped by a seatbelt, airbag, or the hard ground.

The initial injuries sustained in an ejection come from impact with the windshield. As your body goes through the windshield, you may suffer deep lacerations, disfigurement or amputation. Impact with the windshield may also cause serious brain injuries.

Brain injuries are also very likely when your body hits the road following ejection. In addition, spinal cord damage, back and neck injuries, and paralysis are also common in these accidents. Sadly, so too is death.

If you lose a loved one in a car accident caused by another driver or faulty vehicle equipment, you may be entitled to seek compensation for end of life expenses, projected future income and financial contributions, and loss of a spouse or parent, along with other damages. An experienced car accident attorney can assess your case and fight to get you every penny you are due.
