Cuts, wounds and lacerations are the most common injuries suffered in both minor and major accidents. They can be very painful and they leave the injured person vulnerable to infections, scarring, disability or disfigurement. If you or a loved one has suffered lacerations in an accident, contact a Tillsburg personal injury lawyer without delay. Accidents are caused by someone’s fault or negligence and victims are entitled to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages by filing a personal injury claim against those responsible for the accident.
Lacerations
They are tears in the skin, caused by blows, blunt traumas, collision, fall, piercing by a sharp object, flying glass, assault etc. and may vary in severity based on the impact and body-location. Minor lacerations may heal on their own, but deeper ones can damage underlying nerves, tendons, muscles or even bones. Severe lacerations may cause amputations. Different types of lacerations include superficial, deep, clean and complicated lacerations, and if they get infected, they’re termed contaminated lacerations.
Complications
Award winning car accident and personal injury lawyers can ensure that the right medical treatment is provided immediately. Ontario Ministry of Health statistics show that at least 95 people visit ER’s with lacerations and open wounds as a result of accidents. They can lead to various types of complications.
- Bleeding, swelling, bruising, inflammation
- Skin Damage
- Scars may fade with time, or remain permanently
- Deep lacerations damage nerves, muscles, tissues, tendons, bones.
- Infections
- Skin contractions and disfigurement
- Lacerations caused by animal bites/attacks are potential life-threatening, as they can cause rabies etc.
Treatment
Contact top rated accident lawyers to ensure that lacerations receive the best medical treatment immediately. Wound-irrigation, cleaning and removal of debris are essential.
