Car Accident Injuries Are A Common Cause Of Injury:

Brain injuries

Brain injuries can occur from a direct blow to your head by an object, the interior of the car, or as a result a sudden acceleration caused by the change of velocity of the head. This causes the brain's Axons stretch to the point that they tear, also called "shearing".

Spinal cord injuries

Spinal cord injuries can result from the sudden jarring movement of the spine in a vehicle accident. Damage to the muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae around the spine or the disks and nerves within and around the spinal cord can cause neck injuries.

Chest injuries

Chest injuries which can be caused by the pressure on the sternum from the seatbelt or impact with the steering wheel, especially if a seatbelt has been removed. These injuries can be reduced by using airbags.

Knee injuries

Knee injuries which may occur when the knees strike the interior of the vehicle under the dashboard or because of hyper-extension of severe twisting of legs. These include fractures of the patella (kneecap) or tears to the meniscus and ligaments in the knee.

Shoulder injuries

Shoulder injuries can occur from outstretched arms grasping the steering wheel. This can cause tears or damage to the rotator cords and tendons. Whiplash can also cause subacromial impingement syndrome.
