Car Accidents

Car accidents are life changing. Almost approximately 6.5 million motor vehicle crashes are reported per year to the police. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that approximately 70% of all motor vehicle accidents involving multiple vehicles result in injury or fatality. Men are more likely to be involved in fatal crashes. The COVID-19 pandemic actually showed an increased fatality rate despite the number of vehicle miles traveled.

A car crash itself is only the beginning of a long process: filing the claim, determining fault, factual disputes, medical treatment, recovery and ultimately closure.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

People can sustain injuries in any car accident, even those in cars traveling slowly or where low visible property damage exists on the vehicle. Common car accident injuries include:

Although these are labeled as “soft” with insurance companies, soft tissue injuries can actually be some of the most complex and lingering injuries a car accident victim can sustain. Any damage to tendons, ligaments, and tendons are commonly referred to as a soft tissue injury.

Types of soft tissue injuries differ; however, the most common that you see is whiplash. This typically occurs when the muscles and ligaments in the neck are overstretched from the sudden impact of a car accident. Although it is primarily involves just the neck, it can cause pain and tightness to your head, upper back, shoulders, and in some cases extend down to your low back.

Immediately consult your doctor and an attorney if you feel tingling down your arms. Your car accident lawyer will best give you the right advice for soft tissue injuries.

Chest injuries in a car accident commonly occur from seat belts or striking a steering wheel. This can result in bruising in the chest plate, sternum, and the ribs. This may also result in broken ribs as well.
The impact of a collision can cause your head to move at a high speed in many directions (your brain does not like this). Your head may also slam into the steering wheel, dash, door, or window. This may result in concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and skull fractions. Proving a head injury is complex and we’d best recommend consulting with a car accident lawyer if you struck your head in a car accident.
Back injuries are probably the most common injury resulting from a car accident. These may consist of soft tissue injuries that recover in a few weeks to severe spinal cord damage that can be permanent or even cause paralysis. Common back symptoms that may result from a car crash are sprained and strained muscles and numbness and tingling down your arms and legs. Back injuries are tricky and can be debilitating. We recommend talking to a car accident lawyer if you believe you suffered back injuries in a car accident.
