Personal Injury

At Wolfson & Leon, we have been dedicated to advocating for accident and injury victims in West Palm Beach and surrounding areas since 1963. With decades of experience, our commitment to justice and client advocacy remains unwavering. The Impact of Accidents and Injuries

According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), accidents and injuries are a leading cause of death for individuals aged 1 to 44. The financial toll of these injuries is substantial, with billions spent annually on medical care and lost wages. In a recent year, personal injury-related expenses amounted to approximately $450 billion, reflecting a significant increase from previous years. Motor vehicle accidents and falls each contribute to roughly 20% of these injuries, underscoring their prevalence.

Motor vehicle accidents are particularly concerning, especially for younger individuals. These accidents are the leading cause of death among people aged 5 to 34. When such incidents occur, they bring not only physical injuries but also emotional and financial challenges for victims and their families.

West Palm Beach Car Accidents

In West Palm Beach, car accidents are a common occurrence that can result in severe injuries and significant financial burdens. Understanding the different types of auto accidents and the potential injuries can help you navigate the aftermath of such incidents.

Types of Auto Accidents

• Rear-End Collisions: These occur when one vehicle crashes into the back of another. Injuries often include whiplash, spinal injuries, and head trauma.

• Head-On Collisions: When two vehicles crash front-to-front, the impact can result in catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and multiple fractures.
• Rollover Accidents: These involve a vehicle overturning, which can lead to severe injuries such as brain damage, spinal cord injuries, and limb amputations.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents: These occur when a driver flees the scene after causing an accident, complicating the process of seeking compensation and obtaining medical records.
