Shock from a Car Accident
A person who is injured in a car accident may lose a significant amount of blood due to his or her wounds. If these external and internal wounds prove severe enough, that individual can fall into a medical state known as shock. Shock occurs when the body does not circulate enough blood. As a result, the body begins to shut down because it cannot circulate enough oxygen and necessary nutrients.

Severe Auto Accident Injuries and Shock
When a person falls into a state of shock, their life may become endangered due to the lack of oxygen for organs and tissue. The tissue can begin to rapidly die off without oxygen. A person suffering from shock may display the following symptoms:
- Hypothermia
- Clammy, cold skin
- A weak, but fast pulse
- Quick, though shallow breathing
- Hypotension
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
This condition requires immediate medical attention. A person’s chances for survival can be significantly lower without prompt medical treatment for shock. This treatment can prove both expensive and time-consuming. However, litigation can help recover some of those costs.
