Collision Injuries

If you have been in an accident, it is important to realize that collision damage to your automobile should be taken care of AFTER any injuries that you or the passengers have experienced from the accident. With millions of accidents happening in the United States every single year, it is important that you are informed about the different types of injuries that arise from automobile collisions.

 

Injuries to the head and back should be taken very seriously. Passengers that have hit their heads against the steering wheel, dashboard, or window are at risk of having traumatic brain injuries. In addition, these collision injuries could lead to fractures in the skull or impairment of vision/hearing. Back injuries can cause nerve damage and even cause a passenger to become permanently paralyzed. One of the more common types of injury from collision accidents is a herniated disk, which can cause numbness and muscle weakness.

 

Collisions often cause passengers to experience whiplash. These injuries are common results of rear-end collisions and can cause serious damage to various ligaments and neck muscles. Strong force to the chest can also cause heart problems, broken ribs and collapsed lungs. There are many other injuries that can arise from car collisions, but these are some of the most common types. If you’ve been involved in a car accident, be sure to get checked out and ensure that the health and safety of every passenger is taken care of before moving forward!
