Some of the most common injuries sustained in car accidents include:
- Whiplash: Sudden impact from a collision can strain the neck muscles and ligaments, causing pain and stiffness. Whiplash injuries may take days to fully develop.
- Broken Bones: High-impact crashes often result in fractures, which may require surgery and prolonged recovery periods. Broken arms, legs, and ribs are common.
- Head Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can occur from blunt force trauma or violent shaking. Symptoms range from mild concussions to severe cognitive impairments.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine can lead to temporary or permanent paralysis. Even minor spinal injuries can cause chronic pain and mobility issues.
