What Can Cause Injuries in Low-Speed Roadway Collisions?
Even a relatively minor roadway collision can cause physical injuries, particularly when a person’s head or face moves suddenly. A nosebleed may occur after contact with part of a vehicle or from a sudden jolt, although the specific cause depends on the circumstances.
Medical evaluation can help determine whether an injury is limited to visible symptoms or involves less obvious trauma. Common factors considered after a collision include vehicle damage, seat belt use, airbag deployment, road conditions, and the direction of vehicle movement. Witness accounts and photographs can also help establish what occurred. People involved in a roadway accident may be advised to seek medical attention if symptoms appear or worsen after the vehicles have been cleared from the roadway.
