Car Accident Injury Types
- Fractured or Broken Bones
Auto accidents often cause bone fractures, ranging from hairline cracks to complete breaks. These injuries can severely limit mobility and typically demand extensive medical attention. - Traumatic Head Injuries
Collisions may result in head trauma, including concussions. These injuries can lead to symptoms like persistent headaches, memory lapses, and long-term cognitive challenges. - Whiplash Injuries
Frequently caused by rear-end accidents, whiplash leads to neck soreness and restricted movement. Recovery can span several weeks to months. - Internal Organ Damage
Blunt force from a crash can injure internal organs such as the liver, spleen, or lungs—conditions that often require emergency medical care. - Soft Tissue Damage
Car crashes commonly result in soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, and contusions. This category includes whiplash, as well as injuries to tendons and ligaments. - Herniated Spinal Discs
The force of an accident may displace spinal discs, resulting in back pain, tingling, or limb weakness. These injuries frequently call for ongoing medical treatment.
Types of Car Accident Cases
- Rear-End Collisions
These accidents often occur due to inattentive driving or abrupt braking and typically result in whiplash and other neck or spinal injuries. - Side-Impact Crashes (T-Bone Accidents)
When a vehicle is struck broadside, the resulting T-bone collision can cause severe injuries, particularly for passengers on the impacted side. - Head-On Crashes
Involving the front ends of two vehicles, these high-impact crashes are especially dangerous and frequently lead to critical or fatal injuries. - Multi-Car Pileups
Involving three or more vehicles, these crashes can be chaotic and legally complex, with fault potentially shared across multiple parties. - Hit-and-Run Incidents
When a driver flees the scene, injured parties may still pursue compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or legal avenues. - T-Bone Accident Claims
Legal action in side-impact collisions helps victims seek accountability and damages for injuries sustained in these high-risk crashes.
