Common Automobile Accident Injuries
Neck injuries
Among
the most common automobile accident injuries are neck injuries, often resulting from rear-end collisions. One collision might result in a
serious ligament or neck muscle injuries that might force you to spend
days, weeks, or even months in the hospital. Some of the obvious symptoms
are swelling or inability to move your neck.
Chest injuries
Chest injuries fall in the same category as neck injuries. They can also result from rear-end collision that propels your upper body to hit the steering wheel. As a result your lungs could collapse or your rib cage could break. This can also result in a severe internal bleeding or damage internal organs and more that requires immediate medical attention.
Head Injuries
Head injuries are among the most serious automobile accidents. In severe cases, if head injuries are not immediately addressed they could result in a fatality. Just like chest injuries, they can result from hitting the steering wheels, windows or dashboards resulting in brain injuries such as a concussion or coma.
Other injuries
- Back injuries: This can be the damage caused to the spinal cord
- Limb injuries: Broken bones, cut flesh or torn muscle limbs and more.
