What type of injuries can be caused by motor vehicle accidents?

There are a wide range of injuries that you can obtain from a motor vehicle accident and generally this will depend largely on the accident itself.

Injuries can generally be broken down into the following categories:

Head and Back injuries

These can range from serious brain injuries, to mild concussion and vision problems. You could experience nerve damage caused by damage to the spinal cord or common issues such as a herniated disk.

Neck and Chest Injuries

One of the most common motor vehicle accident injuries is whiplash which is caused by sudden movement of the head and neck.

Chest injuries can be more severe in those with pre-existing heart problems and can cause cardiac arrest. Internal bleeding can also be an issue.

Other injuries

These can vary from injuries to external limbs, to broken bones and torn ligaments. You should also be aware of emotional distress and disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

This is something that can affect those travelling as passengers in the car who may not have been physically injured
