Motor vehicle crashes commonly leave their victims with severe, debilitating, and even potentially fatal injuries.
A head injury is one of the more critical collision-related injuries. Vehicle occupants, even ones who are wearing their seat belts properly, can smack their heads on the dashboard or the steering column, or be hit in the face with an airbag as it deploys. The extreme force of the blast can cause whiplash, concussions, and other, far more serious damage, such as traumatic brain injury. Victims might be subjected to a decrease in their cognitive abilities, disorientation, h loss of or damage to their vision, and loss of or damage to their hearing.
Back injuries are a relatively normal byproduct of auto collisions and can vary from spinal cord damage and nerve damage to paralysis and death. Crash victims might also encounter numbness, tingling, or pain in their hands, legs, feet, and arms for the remainder of their lives.
Whiplash is the most common crash injury. Whiplash is caused by a sudden back and forth movement of the head and/or neck, causing tears, strains, and other injuries to the tendons, ligaments, and muscles. A punctured or collapsed lung, internal bleeding, cracked ribs, and damage to vital organs are a few other serious injuries that can sometimes be caused by vehicle collisions.
