Car accidents lead to a variety of different injuries. However, there are some injuries that are more common than others. These injuries range from small scrapes and bruises to more severe, life threatening injuries. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over three million people are injured in car accidents every year in the United States. Factors such as failing to wear a seat belt and the direction a vehicle was hit from contributes to the severity of an injury. The most common car accident injuries include:
Seeking medical treatment immediately after an accident is important, even if you feel fine. Sometimes, injuries do not show up until days or even weeks later. It is also important to seek medical treatment if you are planning on filing a claim because insurance companies will need medical documentation.
