Phoenix Chest
Injuries Attorney

Chest injuries from a car accident can be particularly severe, as they can involve the heart and lungs. The body’s normal circulatory functions can be disrupted, or internal bleeding can occur after an accident affecting the chest. Injuries involving thoracic trauma are also serious and can lead to long-term complications and changes to your quality of life.

While chest injuries most commonly arise from auto wrecks, there are other ways these injuries can occur. But no matter how it happened, these injuries could have been prevented. If you have suffered a serious chest injury due to the carelessness or negligence of someone else, you have the legal right to pursue compensation.

Your medical care, wage losses, pain, and suffering should be addressed, and the Phoenix chest injury lawyers of Zanes Law may be able to help.

Chest Injury Symptoms

Chest injuries may not be apparent and can appear hours or days after an accident, so don’t hesitate to seek a medical evaluation if you think something is wrong. These injuries can become life-threatening in a relatively short period, so it’s best to be on the safe side and see a doctor.

Some of the initial signs and symptoms that you’ve suffered a chest injury might include:

• Coughing up blood
• Breathing difficulty
• Pain when inhaling
• Bruises or swelling
• Crackling or crunchy feeling in the ribs
• Sharp or dull chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Increased pain when coughing or breathing

People often hesitate to seek the medical attention they need because they believe it’s just soreness from the car accident. Your health may depend on immediate medical intervention. See a physician and then contact a personal injury lawyer in Phoenix to learn about your legal options for pursuing compensation.

How a Lawyer Can Help Your Chest Injury Claim

Attorneys take on many responsibilities when representing accident victims. Our primary goal is to maximize the compensatory damages you receive so that your needs are sufficiently provided for and you suffer no financial setback from an accident.

• Provide legal advice and keep you updated on the progress of your case through every step
• Conduct research, prepare and present your damage claim
• Conduct communications and handle all contact with insurance adjusters and defense counsel
• Gather evidence and complete a thorough analysis to determine the sources of liability
• Consult with medical professionals, economic experts, and others to provide evidentiary information and add support to your claim
• Prepare and submit all legal documentation and manage the legal calendar to preserve your right to claim
• Negotiate with the insurance company and opposing counsel to secure a sufficient settlement offer or pursue the case in court if needed

When we take a personal injury case, we also work to minimize the stress on the accident victim. We will ensure that necessary documentation is properly submitted to help expedite the process and avoid unnecessary delays.

People who have suffered severe injuries often don’t have the required physical and mental energy to deal with the complicated claims process, and we can alleviate some of that pressure. A Phoenix chest injuries attorney can take care of the legal details, and insurance claims, and handle the communications on your behalf so that you can focus on getting better.

Chest Injuries in Car Accidents and Other Cases of Negligence

Chest injuries are commonly caused by negligent actions. A penetrating injury occurs when an object pierces the skin and causes damage to the bones or organs, such as being stabbed.

Blunt force trauma injury occurs when there is pressure or impact on the body, such as in a car accident. As automobile accident victims often experience this type of trauma, a car accident lawyer with our firm can help you to find the sources of liability when you experience a chest injury after a crash.

Some common chest injuries caused by negligence include:

• Traumatic pneumothorax
• Cardiac injury
• Injury to blood vessels
• Clavicle fractures
• Flail chest
• Traumatic hemothorax
• Internal bleeding
• Airway injury
• Chest wall hematoma
• Scapula fractures
• Bruising and contusions
• Pulmonary injury
• Fractured ribs

If your chest injury would have been avoided but for the negligence of another party, a Phoenix chest injury lawyer can guide you through the legal process and provide you with the next steps.
