What Are Non-Life-Threatening Injuries After a Motor Vehicle Accident?
Non-life-threatening injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to broken bones, sprains, and other physical trauma. A person may still need hospital care even when medical personnel determine that the injuries are not immediately life-threatening.
Common symptoms after a motor vehicle accident include pain, swelling, dizziness, headaches, and limited movement. Some symptoms may not appear until hours or days later. Medical evaluation can help identify injuries that are not obvious at first.
The type of vehicle involved can also affect the forces people experience inside each vehicle. Seat belts, airbags, vehicle size, and the direction of contact may all influence injury severity.
