What Are the Injuries Most Reported in Vehicle Accidents?
Vehicle accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, even at lower speeds. Common injuries include whiplash, broken bones, and cuts or bruises from broken glass or shifting objects inside a car. Head and neck injuries are especially common because the body can jolt suddenly on impact, even when a seatbelt is worn.
Some injuries are not obvious right away. Adrenaline can mask pain in the minutes afterward, so a person might feel fine at first and notice soreness or stiffness hours or even a day later. This is one reason medical professionals recommend getting checked out after any close call on the road, even a minor one.
Seatbelts and properly installed child seats remain the most effective way to reduce injury risk. Airbags also help cushion the body, though they work best when a seatbelt is worn at the same time. Staying inside the vehicle and turning on hazard lights are also common safety steps to take until help arrives.
