Car Accident Injuries
What You Need to Know
Even a minor car accident can result in significant physical trauma. Some injuries are immediately noticeable, while others may appear hours—or even days—later. Prompt evaluation and treatment are essential to ensure proper healing and avoid long-term complications.
Car accidents commonly cause musculoskeletal injuries, affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, and the spine. The force of impact, even at low speeds, can lead to soft tissue damage, nerve irritation, or joint misalignment. Left untreated, these issues can interfere with daily activities and quality of life.
Common Injuries After a Car Accident
Back injuries—such as herniated discs, muscle strains, or spinal misalignment—often result in pain that may radiate down the legs or worsen with movement.
Shoulder and knee injuries may occur from bracing during impact or from forceful contact with the vehicle’s interior.
Concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries can happen even without hitting your head, due to the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the brain inside the skull.
Soft tissue injuries, including bruises, sprains, and strains, are also common and may cause swelling, tenderness, or limited mobility.
