Why Do You Need an Attorney If You’ve Suffered Face Injuries in a Car Accident?

You may be focused on healing from your injuries after a car accident. However, events can move fast, and the legal process can become stacked against you.

Insurance companies often try to settle quickly before you understand the full impact of your facial injuries. They may downplay the seriousness of your condition, question your need for future medical care, or ignore the emotional toll your injury has taken. Documenting all your losses – including medical expenses, missed work, emotional distress, embarrassment, anxiety, and pain and suffering – can be complicated. The process can be even harder when you’re dealing with surgeries, therapy, or permanent scarring. You also have limited time to file a claim – typically just three years from the accident date in North Carolina. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to compensation.

That’s why we’re here. At Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks, P.A., headquartered in Raleigh, our team will take the pressure off your shoulders. We’ll investigate your accident, collect detailed evidence, work with doctors and experts, and build a case that tells your whole story – not just the numbers on your bills. We’ll stand up to the insurance companies and negotiate aggressively on your behalf. If they refuse to offer what’s fair, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court. You deserve justice, and we’re ready to fight for it.

Who Pays for Medical Treatment for Face Injuries After a Car Crash?

Your health insurance might cover your treatments immediately after a car crash, but whoever caused the collision is ultimately responsible. You can file a personal injury claim against them and their insurance company to seek the compensation you deserve. The potentially liable parties in these cases can include:

  • The other driver – If another motorist caused the crash by acting negligently, such as speeding, failing to yield, running a red light, or driving while distracted or impaired, they could be liable for your facial injuries.
  • A commercial vehicle driver and/or company – If a delivery truck, rideshare vehicle, or another company-operated vehicle hit you, the driver and their employer may both be responsible for your injuries.
  • A vehicle manufacturer – If a defect in your car or another vehicle – such as faulty brakes or airbags – contributed to the crash or worsened your injuries, the manufacturer could be liable under North Carolina’s product liability laws.
  • A government agency – Poorly maintained roads, missing signage, or faulty traffic lights sometimes contribute to car accidents. In these cases, the local or state government responsible for road maintenance may be to blame.
  • A bar or restaurant – Under North Carolina’s dram shop laws, a business that knowingly overserves alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person who then causes a crash may share legal responsibility.

How Do Face Injuries Happen in Car Accidents?

Face injuries in car wrecks often happen when a driver’s or passenger’s head hits something inside the vehicle. The steering wheel, dashboard, side window, windshield, or even the airbag can cause trauma to the face. In high-speed collisions, this impact can lead to broken facial bones, deep cuts, burns, or intense bruising. Side-impact, head-on, and rollover crashes are especially likely to cause these injuries.

Shattered glass is another common cause of face injuries in a car crash. When windows or windshields break, flying shards can slice the skin or damage the eyes. In rollover accidents or catastrophic crashes, people may be thrown from the vehicle, which can result in even more severe facial trauma. Loose objects in the car can also become dangerous projectiles that strike the face.

Common Face Injuries After a Car Accident

Some common examples of severe car accident injuries to the face include:

  • Facial fractures, such as a broken nose, eye socket, cheekbone, or jaw
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Eye injuries
  • Dental damage, including broken or lost teeth
  • Burns from airbags or chemicals
  • Bruising and swelling
  • Nerve damage
  • Scarring or disfigurement
