Accident Types

Every day, people in Arizona are involved in minor, medium and major accidents.

Most people have been in several minor accidents where there were no serious injuries and/or broken bones. People who have been in serious accidents where a vehicle was totaled out as a complete loss in value or when injuries incurred have been potentially life threatening, often times consult a personal injury attorney Phoenix professional.

Minor accidents can entail the passenger and/or driver incurring minor neck or back injuries. In terms of damage to their vehicle, minor damage may be considered as scratches to the vehicle, cracked windshields or slight bumper damage.

In the alternative, medium type accidents may entail the difference between a minor and major accident. Such medium accidents may be where those involved have bruises, skin abrasions and/or muscle tears. In terms of physical damage to the vehicle involved, medium type accidents may involve different degrees of serious damage to the body or the mechanics of the vehicle.

At times, minor and medium accident injuries do not materialize and become obvious until later. A seatbelt or airbag may protect an accident victim from incurring a major injury, but as a residual effect, cause less obvious injuries. A doctor's examination may reveal issues that need attention in order to be treated correctly and avoid further health issues and complications.
