Wrist Pain After a Car Accident – What Are Your Legal Options?

September 12, 2022 by Accident Lawyer

We will help you file a claim against the negligent driver. Legal action is the best way to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries.

If you have wrist pain after being involved in a car accident that was little or no fault of your own, you have legal options in New York. Drivers and passengers who have suffered wrist injuries in an auto accident can file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company.

At Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law, we have more than 45 years of experience representing injured car accident victims throughout New York City, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We will help you file a claim against the negligent driver. Legal action is the best way to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries. Contact our law office today if wrist pain negatively impacts your physical, mental, or financial well-being.

Common Causes of Wrist Injuries

Hand and wrist pain after a car accident is typical for passengers and drivers. Drivers typically injure their wrists when gripping the steering wheel when bracing for impact. At impact, the energy from the crash is released directly into the hand and wrist.

Blunt force trauma is another common cause. This happens when the driver or passenger strikes something inside the vehicle. The force of impact can shift an individual forward, backward, or sideways, causing various injuries.

The hand or wrist can forcefully come in contact with the following parts of a vehicle:

  • Dashboard
  • Center console
  • Airbag
  • Steering wheel
  • Window or door

You likely have many questions concerning your case if you have suffered a hand or wrist injury in an auto accident. Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law can help answer your questions.

Understanding Your Legal Options

If you have suffered a hand or wrist injury in an accident, you can file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver. However, insurance companies have one goal – to settle for as little as possible. Therefore, dealing with the insurance company, calculating the amount you’re entitled to, and receiving your compensation is complicated.

A car accident attorney works alongside auto accident victims to quantify damages and ensure the injured party receives total and fair compensation. The damages you can qualify for include past and future medical expenses, property damage, and lost wages. Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf.
