The 4 Most Common Car Accident Injuries

After being in a car accident, your health should be your number one priority. The only way to determine the true extent of your car accident injuries is to be medically examined.

A doctor’s report will specify your injuries and provide clarity on the long-term impact of the accident. A medical report is an essential component of your auto accident claim and should be obtained as soon as possible after the accident.

In our experience as Oklahoma auto accident lawyers, these are four of the most common injuries suffered by victims of car crashes.

Soft Tissue Car Accident Injuries

Injuries to soft tissues (such as ligaments, tendons, and muscles) are quite common for auto accident victims. The sudden impact of a collision can cause sprains, strains, and contusions that range from minor to severe.

A sprain is the tearing or stretching of a ligament. Ankles and wrists are particularly vulnerable to this type of injury. A strain is an injury of the muscles or tendons, such as a tear or stretch. Strains often lead to spasms, inflammation, and cramping. Contusions are bruises caused by the direct blow of a blunt object, leading to pain and discoloration of the affected area.

Soft tissue injuries may impact car crash victims for a prolonged period after the accident.

Lacerations and Abrasions

Lacerations and abrasions are relatively minor skin injuries commonly experienced by auto accident victims. A laceration happens where the skin is cut or torn, usually by a sharp object like broken glass. Abrasions are a milder form of injury caused by scraping or friction, such as the rough surface of the road coming in contact with your skin.
If left untreated, lacerations and abrasions can become infected, leading to potential long-term complications. Permanent scars can be a painful reminder of the accident and can impact your self-image and confidence.

Whiplash Injuries

Whiplash injuries happen as a result of the sudden and forceful jerking of the head and neck. This injury is easily identified by a sharp pain in the neck, as well as limited range of motion when you try to turn or bend your head. Whiplash can also cause shoulder and lower back pain, ringing in the ears, and even blurred vision. This type of injury is commonly experienced after a rear-end collision.

Traumatic Brain Car Accident Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) happen when there is a blow or bump to the head. These types of injuries range from mild to very severe and may impact victims for years after the accident.

A concussion is a relatively mild and temporary brain injury, but may cause chronic headaches, confusion, and ringing in the ears. More severe traumatic brain injuries can result in physical damage to the brain such as bleeding or bruising. These types of injuries can lead to long-term comas or even death.
