What Can Cause Serious Injuries in a Road Accident?
Serious injuries can occur when vehicles collide, even when the vehicles are traveling at moderate speeds. The force involved can affect different parts of the body depending on how the vehicles move and where a person is positioned.
Foot and leg injuries may result from contact with the lower portion of a vehicle or from a person becoming trapped inside a vehicle. Loss of consciousness can also indicate that a person experienced a significant physical trauma, although only medical professionals can determine the severity and cause.
Road conditions, traffic patterns, vehicle positions, and seat belt use can all provide useful information in determining what happened. Photos, vehicle damage, and statements from witnesses may also help establish the sequence of events.
