Types of auto injury
There are so many different types of auto injury possible when you are involved in a car accident. Some injuries can be serious enough to last for months, causing the victim to live with acute pain for some time. That would be injuries such as broken bones, whiplash, or damaged organs. Some injuries can cause victims to experience a lifetime of disability or loss of function. Here we will discuss car accident injuries that require extensive health care; consider the following:
Whiplash
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries suffered in car accidents. Whiplash is the term that is used to describe any injury to the soft tissues and/or bones in the neck. The symptoms that are commonly associated with whiplash are the result of the sudden extension and flexion of the neck due to a collision.
Traumatic brain injuries
Traumatic brain injury occurs when a person suffers a sudden blow or forceful impact to the head. The end result is disruption of the normal function of the brain. Traumatic brain injuries will range from mild to severe. They are classified as either closed or penetrating injuries. Closed injuries occur when the brain moves within the skull, which can occur as a result of a fall, car accident, or being struck in the head by something.
