Here is this week’s blog question and the accident lawyer from Boca Raton (injury lawyer Miami, accident attorney Coral Gables, injury attorney South Miami, accident lawyer Homestead, injury attorney West Kendall, accident lawyer Perrine) will respond to this question.
Car accidents can cause all types of injuries. While a seat belt generally prevents injury, sometimes the seat belt results in injuries, from the impact. OF course, the seat belt in the same accident where it causes one injury very well may be preventing a more catastrophic injury. A common example of injuries caused by seat belts are shoulder injuries. Another example is an injury to someone’s chest or as described here in a breast implant rupturing. In such a case, you very well may be required to have surgery and such surgery could result in significant scarring or some other form of injury where you may be entitled to damages. If there was proof that the accident caused implant to rupture, then a case could be made to recover those medical bills and and resulting pain and suffering.

Of course, a case based on a fact pattern such as the one above is unique and any other case should be judged based on the specific facts of the case. The advice in this blog is intended to be general and should not to be used as specific advice for a case, as the slightest difference in the facts could change the result. Also, this blog is, as the web site name suggests, based on Florida law and the laws of any other state could vary significantly from Florida.
