  1. Head Injuries.

    In a car accident, some degree of head injury or brain injury is extremely likely. Accident victims may hit their heads on the window or steering wheel, or even get flung out of the car and hit their head on the pavement. Even if there is no external sign of injury, a car accident victim may still have a concussion caused by the brain slamming against the inside of the skull at the moment of impact.

  2. Neck Injuries.

    Whiplash is probably the most common type of neck injury suffered in a car crash, but there is also the potential for more serious injury such as a disc injury or pinched nerve. It is important to realize that whiplash and neck strain injuries can take time to appear after an accident.

  3. Back Injuries.

    In more serious car accidents, there is the potential for severe spinal cord injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis. But even in less serious or low-speed accidents, individuals can suffer back injuries including sprains, strains, fractures, and disc injuries.

  4. Face Injuries.

    In the event of a car accident, something as seemingly benign as your own glasses has the potential to cause serious facial injury. Shards of glass, plastic, or metal also have the potential to cause lacerations that may require scar reduction surgery.

  5. Psychological Injuries.

    The potential for car accidents to result in short term or long term psychological damage must not be overlooked. Victims may develop PTSD, anxiety, depression, or other forms of emotional distress following an accident, especially if injuries were severe or someone lost their life in the accident.
