Motor Vehicle Accidents

Common Injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents can result in a variety of injuries, some of which may not be immediately felt but can worsen over time if left untreated. Common injuries include:

• Whiplash: One of the most common injuries, whiplash occurs when the neck is suddenly jerked forward and then back, causing strain on the muscles and ligaments. This can lead to neck pain, headaches, and stiffness.

• Back Injuries: The force of a car accident can cause misalignments in the spine, leading to back pain, muscle strain, and herniated discs.

• Shoulder and Arm Injuries: Impact from the accident or bracing for the collision can lead to injuries in the shoulder, arm, or upper back, including muscle strain and joint issues.

• Headaches and Migraines: Whiplash and other neck injuries can often result in recurring headaches or migraines due to muscle tension or nerve irritation.

• Soft Tissue Damage: The muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck, back, and limbs can be overstretched or torn in an accident, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility.
