What Are the Signs of Shock After a Car Accident?

The force of a car crash can send the body into shock, a serious physical condition that can be life-threatening. While victims of car accidents often experience a state of mental shock, medical shock is something different. Medical shock is a condition that occurs when your body struggles to pump enough blood to your vital organs. Understanding the signs of both physical and emotional shock after a car accident can help ensure you receive the care you need and avoid dangerous complications.

Common Types of Shock Caused By Car Accidents

Shock happens when a lack of blood flow prevents oxygen from getting to your organs, which can lead to permanent damage or death if not treated quickly. There are a few different kinds of shock that can occur as a result of a car accident:

Can Parents Be Held Liable for Their Teen’s Car Accident?

When your teenager starts driving, it opens up a new world of independence for them – and a new realm of responsibility for you as a parent. If your teen is involved in a car accident, you could find yourself legally and financially liable for any injuries or property damage they cause.

Parents should understand that teens face higher risk of motor vehicle crashes due to their inexperience and tendency toward distraction. And if your teen does get into a car accident, it can have serious implications for your entire family’s financial future.

Why Teens Pose an Increased Risk for Car Accidents

Statistics consistently show that teenage drivers have higher accident rates than any other age group. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of death for teenagers aged 16-19. Statistically, the motor vehicle crash death rate for male drivers ages 16–19 years is three times as high as the death rate for female drivers in the same age group. […]

Does Daylight Saving Time Cause More Car Accidents?

In the days following Daylight Saving Time changes, commuters are at higher risk for car accidents. Whether “springing forward” in March or “falling back” in November, morning and evening drivers must adjust for sleep disruptions and changes in visibility. Remember to prepare for the upcoming time change on Sunday, March 9, 2025, when clocks “spring forward” one hour.

Time changes leave our bodies tired, slowing reaction times and impairing judgments. The effects peak during the first week following a time change, turning routine commutes into riskier drives. Both rural and urban drivers and pedestrians face the hazards of drowsy driving, changed lighting and visibility.

Taking specific steps can help protect you and your loved ones during time changes. If you’ve been injured in a car accident during Daylight Saving Time transitions, Munley Law’s experienced car accident lawyers can explain your legal options.
