Car Accidents in South Carolina
Tens of thousands of people across the state of South Carolina are negatively affected as a result of car crashes every year. Many accidents are caused by drivers who engage in negligent actions while behind the wheel. Some of the leading causes of car crashes include:
- Drivers who are intoxicated.
- Drivers who are distracted.
- Divers who failed to yield.
- Divers who run red lights.
- Drivers who pass stop signs.
Unfortunately, these and other acts of negligence contribute to a significant portion of the crashes that occur in our state. Many people involved in accidents are left with severe injuries. Some of the most common include:
- Broken bones: Compound fractures are one of the most common injuries from car accidents. These injuries often result in the need for therapy and rehabilitation and casting.
- Internal organ injuries: these injuries can be incredibly serious and sometimes even fatal. The force of the impact can cause severe damage to the lungs, spleen, and other internal organs. These injuries can be life-threatening if immediate care is not rendered.
- Spinal cord injuries: Spinal cord injuries are also very serious and can often result in paralysis. We see many people left with paraplegia or quadriplegia following crashes in our state.
