One of his favorite pastimes was driving his lovingly restored classic truck \u2014 a powder blue 1955 Chevy pickup.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, an impatient driver changed his retirement forever. It was a sunny, warm Alabama morning, and Carlton was out running errands in his truck. He was passing through an intersection when, seemingly out of nowhere, an SUV turned left in front of him. The driver didn\u2019t have the right of way; she was just trying to beat Carlton through the light.<\/p><p>Carlton, who was going the speed limit, didn\u2019t have time to avoid a collision. His truck violently struck the side of the other driver\u2019s SUV, and his truck rolled into the ditch.<\/p><p>During the collision, Carlton\u2019s head\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/side-impact-collision-attorney-al\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"15600\">struck the side of his truck<\/a>, and he lost consciousness.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/practice-area\/mobile\/car-accident-lawyers\/\" data-type=\"pmp_practice_area\" data-id=\"20525\">The accident was so forceful<\/a>\u00a0that the Chevy\u2019s dashboard crumpled, pinning him inside the pickup.

Nonetheless, he made the wise decision to go to an urgent care clinic that day, to get his cuts cleaned and stitched up. However, the urgent care doctors were very concerned about his lacerations and cuts, pain levels, and reported loss of consciousness. They sent him immediately to the hospital for a CT scan.<\/p><p>His doctors quickly diagnosed a series of injuries<\/p><ul><li>Severely broken nose<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webdemo.icu\/site\/andywins\/blog\/automotive-accident-concussion\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12346\">Concussion<\/a><\/li><li>Lacerations to his face, arms, and legs<\/li><li>Chest and rib pain<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdca321 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cdca321\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the following months, Carlton\u2019s injuries healed slowly \u2013 and more complications began to appear.<\/p><p>First, he suffered from degenerative arthritis, and while he lived an active lifestyle before the crash, Carlton\u2019s daily activities were now very challenging. Light physical activity was exhausting; even walking his dogs was too much.<\/p><p>While Carlton took care of himself as best he could, he started noticing pain and swelling in his nose. A fleck of paint from his truck landed in one of the cuts on his nose, causing a severe staph infection. He had to endure several procedures to remove the foreign body from his face, and as a result, Carlton\u2019s nose is permanently scarred.<\/p><p>[chat-email-call]<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b242607 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b242607\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Emotional Trauma Complicates Carlton\u2019s Life After the Crash<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed77231 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ed77231\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Even months after the accident, Carlton was experiencing severe pain and headaches that wouldn\u2019t go away.
