Common Car Accident Injuries
Cars are heavy objects that can protect in crashes but can also cause significant harm through direct or indirect impact. Injuries sustained in car accidents vary and can include:
- Concussion
- Whiplash
- Severe brain injury
- Road rash
- Bruising cuts/scrapes
- broken bones
- Fractures
- Broken ribs
- Internal bleeding
- Neck injury
Severe accidents may result in permanent damage such as:
- limb loss,
- eye trauma
- hearing loss
- paralysis
- and death
Car accidents can also affect mental health, causing feelings of anxiety, depression, or fear.
Even minor injuries are worth taking seriously, but not everyone recognizes this. Insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage after a crash can also be a challenge, even for those with good past experiences.
If you’re having trouble securing coverage, you may have the right to file a car accident claim and receive appropriate compensation.
