The Five Most Common Injuries in Car Accidents
Car accidents can cause serious damage to every part of the body. However, some injuries are more frequent than others, including:
- Head and brain damage: Head and brain damage is commonly caused by a severe blow to the head. Upon impact, the head can suffer serious trauma by impacting windows, steering wheels and more.
- Neck and spinal cord injuries: Whiplash is one of the most common injuries suffered by car accident victims. Violent snapping of the neck can cause long-term complications and result in damage to vertebrae, disks and tissue.
- Serious cuts or lacerations: Broken glass and other flying objects can result in a person suffering deep cuts that could cause scarring or require surgery to repair.
- Chest injuries: The violent impact of a collision can result in broken ribs or a fracture in the sternum.
- Leg, knee and pelvic injuries: Lower extremities are at risk for being crushed or twisted in violent car accidents. Fractures, cartilage tears, deep contusions and more can be sustained.
