Intersection Crashes and Upper Limb Injuries in South Florida
Crashes at intersections like Atlantic Blvd and NE 5th Ave are unfortunately common in urban corridors of Broward County. These collisions often occur during lane changes, red-light transitions, or misjudged turns—especially when traffic volume is high and visibility is limited. This part of Pompano Beach sees regular congestion, making it a frequent site of impact-related injuries.
In this case, the deployment of airbags and the report of an arm injury indicate a moderate to severe impact. Upper limb injuries can range from fractures and sprains to more complex trauma involving ligaments, tendons, or nerve damage. These injuries frequently occur when the occupant braces for impact or is struck by the force of deployed safety equipment.
Medical care for arm injuries often involves imaging, immobilization, and sometimes surgery—along with physical therapy during recovery. Even in crashes without high-speed impact, these types of injuries can affect mobility, work capacity, and daily routines.
When accidents occur in commercial zones like Atlantic Blvd, securing witness accounts, traffic camera footage, and accurate incident reports becomes essential—both for medical follow-up and potential insurance or legal claims.
