The last thing that anybody in Loveland and the surrounding Larimer County areas wants to think about is being injured in a car accident. Unfortunately, car accidents in this area are not uncommon. At Cannon Law, our qualified and experienced Loveland car accident attorneys have extensive experience handling these cases. Here, we want to discuss some of the most common injuries we handle in the aftermath of a crash.
The most common injuries in these cases
There are a variety of injuries that can occur in car accidents in Loveland and the surrounding Larimer County areas. While most car accidents result in only minor injuries, we want to point out that even minor injuries can lead to major medical expenses (EMS transport, X-rays, ER time, etc.).
You also need to be aware that the signs and symptoms of some car accident injuries will not appear until hours or even days after an accident occurs. For example, car accident victims regularly suffer from whiplash or other soft tissue damage in their neck, shoulders, and back. Victims may not feel these injuries immediately, but they can cause prolonged pain that affects a person’s ability to work and live their daily lives.
Some of the other common injuries we handle include:
- Head injuries. These injuries range in severity from concussions to serious traumatic brain injuries. A brain injury can have immediate effects as well as complications that last far into the future for victims.
- Spinal cord trauma. Any injuries to a person’s spinal cord can be devastating and lead to partial or total paralysis. Spinal cord injury victims often need life-long care.
- Internal injuries. In many car accident cases, victims sustain internal bleeding or internal organ damage that may not be immediately apparent. However, these injuries can be incredibly dangerous and lead to long-term disabilities or even death.
- Broken and dislocated bones. These injuries can significantly affect a person’s ability to work and conduct daily activities. Broken ribs can lead to severe pain or internal injuries, and broken legs and arms can inhibit mobility.
- Lacerations and puncture wounds. Many car accidents lead to broken glass and sharp metal edges that can cause severe lacerations and puncture wounds for victims. These injuries can lead to significant scarring and disfigurement as well as pain and suffering for victims.
- Emotional and psychological injuries. Car accidents and subsequent injuries can lead to a victim suffering from mental anguish, fear, depression, and anxiety. It is not uncommon for car accident victims to sustain post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of their injuries.

My Case Was Taken Care Of
“Sam and his team worked to make sure every aspect of my case was taken care of and that I was informed the whole way through. I know nothing about law or how the process works, so he explained everything to me in a way that was easy for us non-lawyers to understand. I can’t recommend them enough and everything they helped me with over the course of my 15 month case. I’d highly recommend!”

They Really Set the Standard For Legal Help
“Sam Cannon is what you want in a lawyer. I’ve used them a couple of times now and each time I call, Sam’s always shown a level of dedication that’s beyond impressive. In fact, he often seems to be more passionate about my case than I was, which was refreshing because it’s rare to see that kind of care these days.
More than just a good person, Sam and company are excellent at what they do. Professional and, more importantly, timely. I’ve never not had a call or message returned within 24 hours. They really set the standard for legal help. If you find yourself in a bind, this is the firm to call.”
