Can You Guess What the 2 Most Common Car Accident Injuries Are?

As an experienced personal injury attorney, Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas represents people with a wide range of injuries and who have been involved in a wide range of accidents. However, over the years he’s seen many car accident victims suffer from the same injuries. While a whole host of injuries can result from a car accident, can you guess what the two most common injuries are? They are head injuries and traumatic brain injuries.

Head injuries are often the most serious injury from a car accident

A head injury can result in a traumatic brain injury, which is one of the most serious possible results from a car accident. It’s most commonly the result of a vehicle being hit from behind, or when a vehicle comes to a very sudden stop. When either of these situations happen, the driver and / or their passengers can collide with the inside of the vehicle. If someone’s head hits a window, steering wheel, or other hard surface, the result could range from a mild concussion to death.

A traumatic head injury can lead a to a long list of disabilities, many of which are permanent. For example, some people lose the ability to walk, have issues with vision, have changes in their personalities, have cognitive problems, and other issues. If you or someone you love has suffered a head injury as a result of a car accident then you need to call Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707 right away.

Back injuries can cause life-long issues

Back injuries from car accidents are also very common. These spinal cord injuries can affect any part of the spine, from the tailbone all the way up to the neck. Like a brain injury, an injury to the back or spinal cord can lead to life-long issues. These can include losing sensation in parts of the body or losing motor control in the arms, legs, hands, or feet. In some cases, these are temporary issues that can be helped with physical therapy and in other cases they are permanent. It’s also common for victims to suffer from back and neck pain for years to come – if not the rest of their lives.
