5 Common Types Of Auto Accident Injuries
Michelle Garrett
Being involved in a car collision can ruin your day and may cause severe injuries to occur. There are some injuries that are more common than others when it comes to an automobile collision. If you are in an accident, you may want to know what type of injuries is typically reported:
Soft tissue injuries
Being jolted around during a collision may cause injuries to the soft tissue in your body. This includes the muscles, tendons and ligaments that may potentially be damaged. The extent of your injury will determine if you need medical attention if your body will simply take time to heal because of the soft tissue injury.
Knee injuries
During a car accident, your knees may hit the dashboard of the vehicle and become injured. This could result in scrapes and cuts that may be severe or minor depending on the impact of the collision. Additionally, the person in the back seat may brush up against the seats in the front and be hurt.
Head injuries
Many people report concussions when being involved in a car accident. This is frequently due to hitting the head on something during the collision, typically the dashboard or the interior of the car. In more severe cases, the driver or passenger may be thrown out of the vehicle that may resort in more extreme head injuries.
Scrapes and Cuts
One of the most common types of injuries reported by car accident victims includes scrapes and cuts.
Listed below some of the reasons these occur:
1. Being thrown from the vehicle through the car window could cause cuts.
2. Being tossed around inside the car could cause the body to have scrapes on it.
3. When the airbag goes off in the vehicle, this could cause the driver or passenger feel the impact and experience scrapes or cuts.
The severity of the cut will dictate if you should pursue medical attention or not.
Chest injuries
The chest area is subject to sustain various injuries during an accident. These may stem from the impact of the collision; the airbag being deployed or even being thrown from the vehicle.
Some common chest injuries include broken ribs and internal injuries that may require immediate medical attention.
Finally, if you are the victim of a car accident and experience severe injuries, you may need to hire an attorney. By retaining the services of a car accident lawyer, this can help you receive the compensation you deserve for being hurt. If you have other questions, contact a professional like David H Harris Jr, Attorney for help.

I'm a hard worker who can bring a lot to any company. And I also know what an employer needs to do for me. I know my rights. There's no federal law protecting me from discrimination due to my record, but there are plenty of state laws that make it a little easier for me.
