The Common Car Accident Injuries: A Simple Guide

March 4, 2021 By Gauge Magazine

Common Car Accident A common car accident can sometimes cause major injuries that can badly affect your quality of life. Just thinking about car accident injuries can deter you from wanting to drive.

But it doesn’t have to intimidate you.

If you know what the common ones are, you can know what to do about them. Read on to better prepare yourself if it ever happens to you.

Cuts and Bruises

Bruises are the most common type of injury in a common car accident. Especially if you were wearing your seatbelt.

Having light bruising across your chest from your seatbelt is very common. You may also have other bruises from where you hit or banged something during the crash.

You might also get some scrapes and cuts, depending on the accident. If a window broke, you might have some cuts from the glass.

Whiplash and Neck Pain

Chances are, you’ve heard of whiplash. This happens when there is too much strain on your neck muscles and ligaments.

This is common for car accidents. And while whiplash can be painful, it usually doesn’t lead to permanent injury by itself.

You might also experience other kinds of neck and back pain. If this happens, it is important to be checked out by a professional. It may be that the jerk of the common car accident jarred something out of place.

But some small pain or discomfort is very common after a car accident, especially in your neck.

Head Injuries and Concussions

Unfortunately, head injuries are also common in car accidents.

It’s easy to have hit your head during a collision. Most seats have a comfortable enough headrest. But they become decidedly less comfortable if your head is slamming against it.

Also, airbags come out with force. And while they save many lives, they can still hurt.

It’s extremely important to have your head looked at immediately. If your head with hit hard enough, it could lead to traumatic injuries inside as well.

Keep in mind your skull is a very hard material. And being jarred by an accident could have caused your brain to crash into it.

Broken Arms and Wrists

While experiencing a common car accident, you might not have been in control of your arms. But that’s okay, it’s natural to use your arms to try to protect yourself.

As a result, other common injuries are broken arms and wrists. If you’re lucky, it may have resulted in just a fracture. But unfortunately, that isn’t always the case.

Being injured this badly could also result in time off from work. If your car accident caused something like this, you might want to consider compensation.

There are personal injury lawyers and car accident attorneys that can help you. If you hire one, you might get a higher settlement than from your insurance.

These Are Just the Common Car Accident Injuries

Every car accident is unique, and there’s no guarantee that you will walk away.

But now you know the common car accident injuries you can sustain. So, if it happens to you, you know what you might expect.
