List of Common Injuries Sustained in Car Accidents

There is a garden variety of injuries that can happen in an automobile accident.  Depending if you were rear-ended, side-swiped or experienced a head-on collision, the human body is robust and can recover but it can take some time and unfortunately some or a lot of pain.

• Back and Neck Injuries - Whiplash being often called the most frequent injury usually happens when you have been rear ended and your neck quickly rotates causing this injury.  However disk injuries can also occur along with whiplash.  Back Injuries can affect back nerves, muscles and ligaments. Since back injuries can take a long time to get to 100%, many doctors will prescribe pain medication for the patient to tolerate back injuries for a period while the back heals. 

• Broken Limbs - Including hands, arms, shoulders, wrists, forearms and fingers, many of these limbs are affected by fractures and require splints or casts to heal.  Rotator cuff injuries are another common result of an auto accident.  Lower limbs can also be affected which includes legs, knees, ankles and feet.
 
• Fractures, Hip, Pelvis - Hip fractures and pelvis fractures can be extremely painful and often require physical therapy.  If the injury is very severe sometimes a replacement is necessary. 

• Head Trauma - Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)  is a very serious condition and sometimes is not diagnosed since the symptoms aren’t always visible immediately.  This type of injury is one of the main reasons you should seek medical attention immediately.  Brain injury could lead to permanent or temporary impairment. 

• Internal Injuries - Includes spleen, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and bowel.
