Serious, Minor or Late-Appearing Car Accident Injuries
Car accident injuries happen in many different ways. Some even occur in low speed accidents. Common car accident injuries (serious, minor, quick and late appearing) include:
Neck and Back Injuries
Spinal injuries range in severity from minor soft tissue injuries to severe spinal cord damage. If you damage your spine you may start to feel numbness, tingling, or burning over parts of your body. Severe spinal cord injuries cause partial or total paralysis.

Soft Tissue Injuries
Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons is often referred to as a soft tissue injury. The most common soft tissue injury is whiplash. Whiplash occurs when the head is jerked back and forth quickly in a crash and the muscles and ligaments in the neck are stretched too far.
Chest Injuries
Even a driver wearing a seatbelt can suffer bruises or broken ribs when their chest collides with the steering wheel or the seatbelt. In a high impact collision, passengers may also sustain chest injuries.
Brain Injuries
Seatbelts don’t protect the head in a crash. As a result, drivers and passengers may suffer traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures or serious concussions. In a high-speed collision, it is not even necessary for the head to strike the inside of the car for a brain injury to occur.
