Top Ten Types of Car Accident Injuries
According to the CDC, 3 million people are injured in motor vehicle accidents yearly, just in the United States! While modern safety measures, like seatbelts, airbags, and improved braking systems, have drastically improved the survival rate of these accidents, injuries of all types continue to occur. And, sadly, nearly 90 people per day still die from injuries occurred in motor vehicle accidents in the United States.
Dependent on the accident type, some types of injuries are more commonplace than others. For instance, in Rear-End Motor Vehicle Accidents whiplash is a common injury. However, in T-Bone Motor Vehicle Accidents, broken bones, and more serious injuries, like head trauma and organ damage, are more commonplace.
Here is a list of the top ten common types of Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries:
- Whiplash
- Concussions
- Bruising
- Injuries Incurred from Airbag
- Neck Injuries
- Back Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injuries
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Broken Bones
- Internal Bleeding
While always wearing your seatbelt, driving cautiously and without distractions, and abiding by the rules of the road dramatically reduces your risk to be involved in an accident, accidents continue to occur. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, caused by someone else’s negligence, contact a Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney to learn if you are entitled to compensation.
