Most Common Auto Accident Injuries
Some of the most common auto accident injuries include:
- Traumatic brain injuries. A traumatic brain injury, or TBI, can cause complications to thinking, language, processing, emotions, sensation, memory, and more. Complications From TBIs are often permanent.
- Spinal cord injuries. Perhaps the most common type of injury is a spinal cord injury. A spinal cord injury can cause permanent partial or complete paralysis from the site of the injury downwards.
- Soft tissue injuries. The muscles, ligaments, and tendons of the body are known as soft tissues. During a car accident, soft tissues can be pulled, twisted, and torn most of the time, leading to pain and temporary disabling. The most common type of soft tissue injury in a car accident is whiplash.
- Internal injuries. A car accident can severely damage internal organs. Internal injuries can lead to bleeding, organ failure, and, in severe cases, death.
- Bone fractures. Bone fractures usually heal completely with time and medical treatment but can be extremely painful and cause long-term complications in some situations.
- Scarring and disfigurement. Facial injuries, lacerations, and other injuries can sometimes be permanently disfiguring or disabling.
- Psychological injuries. Not all injuries are physical. In addition to the physical damages that a person involved in a car accident may suffer, it’s also very possible for a car accident victim to develop psychological injuries, including post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.
