Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Rear-End Collisions
Rear-end crashes are the most common car accident on the road. Whether it happened on the freeway, at a red light, or in stop-and-go traffic, whiplash and spine injuries from rear-end impacts are often more serious than they appear. Insurance companies routinely undervalue these claims — we don't let that happen.
Intersection Crashes
Intersection accidents involving red light runners, failure to yield, and illegal turns cause some of the most serious injuries on the road. These cases often involve disputed liability, making an experienced attorney essential to proving who was at fault.
Freeway Accidents
High-speed collisions on the freeway frequently result in catastrophic injuries, multi-vehicle pileups, and complex insurance disputes. When multiple parties are involved, having an attorney who knows how to investigate and assign liability is critical.
Left-Turn Crashes
Left-turn accidents are among the most disputed car accident cases. While the turning driver is often presumed at fault, liability is not always clear-cut. We investigate every detail — signal timing, speed, right-of-way — to build the strongest possible case.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
If the at-fault driver fled the scene, you may still have options through your own uninsured motorist coverage. Joseph Gallo knows how to identify every available source of compensation when the other driver disappears.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are among the most devastating accidents on the road, often resulting in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and wrongful death. These cases demand aggressive representation and thorough investigation. Gallo Law fights for maximum compensation for victims and their families.

Common Car Accident Injuries
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries — some obvious immediately, others that don’t surface until days or weeks later. Understanding the most common injuries helps you recognize when something is wrong and why prompt medical attention matters for both your health and your claim.
Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries
Whiplash is the most common car accident injury, occurring when the neck snaps forward and backward violently on impact. Soft tissue damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments can cause chronic pain, limited range of motion, and long-term complications that insurance companies routinely dismiss as minor.
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Even a low-speed collision can cause the brain to strike the inside of the skull. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe brain damage and can affect memory, cognition, mood, and motor function. Symptoms are not always immediate, making early medical evaluation critical.
Spinal Cord and Back Injuries
Herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, and spinal cord damage are among the most serious and costly car accident injuries. These injuries can result in chronic pain, limited mobility, or permanent paralysis — and often require surgery, long-term physical therapy, and ongoing medical care.
Broken Bones
The force of a collision frequently causes fractures to the chest, pelvic, ribs, and collarbone. While some fractures heal with immobilization, others require surgery and extended recovery periods that keep victims out of work for weeks or months.
Internal Injuries
Internal bleeding and organ damage are life-threatening injuries that may not be visible from the outside. Injuries to the liver, spleen, and kidneys are common in high-impact collisions and require immediate emergency treatment.
