You Might Have Suffered Crush Syndrome
Another common risk to keep in mind after a crushing accident is a condition known as crush syndrome. Also commonly referred to as Bywaters’ Syndrome or rhabdomyolysis, crush syndrome happens when the skeletal muscle is compressed and rapidly starts to deteriorate.
The cells in the muscle begin to die, and the sodium and calcium channels open, which allows these fluids to release into damaged tissue layers. Crush syndrome has the potential to cause severe seizures, renal failure, and death. Some of the signs of crush syndrome include muscle weakness, chronic pain, brown urine, prolonged immobility, and seizures.
It is not unusual for victims of crush accidents to wind up with a permanent loss of function, mobility, or even succumb to fatal injuries.
What Damages Could You Recover?
You have the right to pursue compensation for your losses if someone’s negligence caused your damages. Examples of the economic damages and non-economic damages that could be paid out in your crush injury claim include:
- Chronic pain
- Physical emotional trauma and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of function
- Physical disability or impairment
- Disfigurement and skin scarring
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Current and future healthcare costs
- Loss of income and benefits from your employer, such as 401(k) contributions or health insurance coverage
- Property damages
- Diminished earning potential
