Types of Vehicle Collisions
Common Injuries resulting from Vehicle Collisions
Broken Bones
Broken arms, legs, back, neck, and shoulders are common injuries when in a car accident. The severity could range from micro fracture or nondisplaced hairline fracture to a displaced fracture. The severity of fractures vary in degrees. Some injuries may heal on their own while others require surgery and medical intervention. Here are common broken bone injuries that occur after car crash claims.
- Simple fracture: Typically a clean break
- Impacted fracture: Broken ends of bone are jammed together
- Displaced fracture: Multiple fractures or breaks in a single bone
- Compound fracture: Full break and penetrates the skin
- Closed fracture: Bone snaps, but doesn’t penetrate the skin
- Open fracture: Bone snaps and penetrates the skin
- Non-displaced fracture: Bone breaks but stays in alignment
- Greenstick fracture: Bone bends under impact but doesn’t break completely
- Linear fracture: Parallel crack through the bone
- Oblique fracture: A break is on an angel through the bone
- Transverse fracture: Right angle fracture across the bone
The backbone is composed of 33 bones and causes of back pain can be complex. However some back pain may be a result of a car accident. These types of injuries can be diagnosed through x-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan. These types of injuries are very common in car accidents and should not be taken lightly. Additional information on back injuries can be found at WebMD.
Traumatic brain injury often results after a significant impact or blow to the Head. A mild brain injury may affect your brain temporarily. However more serious traumatic brain injuries can result in bleeding or death. Symptoms to watch for include headache vomiting fatigue or problems with speech. Injury victims should seek immediate medical attention and reach out to an attorney when the time is appropriate. Additional information on these types of injuries can be found at the Mayo Clinic.
Soft tissue injuries are a broad catagory that incompasses sprains, contusions, bruises, strains, stress injuries, and ligament injuries. Soft tissue injuries are the most common injuries from car crashes. Often, they cannot be detected through standard diagnostics such as MRI, CT scan, or X-ray scans. Despite the difficulty to detect them, they often leave the injured victim in significant pain and limited mobility. The most common treatment for these injuries include chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, and physical therapy.
