Common Car Accident Injuries

There are several car accident injuries that could be preventable, such as by wearing a seatbelt. This small act could prevent serious injury or even death in the event of a car accident. Another example would be driving a vehicle with properly equipped airbags. Or paying close attention to driving while operating a motor vehicle and staying off cell phones.

Common car accident injuries include:

  • Brain injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Face injuries
  • Neck injuries
  • Foot, leg or knee injuries

Brain Injuries

Many serious car accidents may result in brain injuries. Some types of brain injuries include head injury, traumatic brain injury or concussion. Often a brain injury leads to a coma or loss of memory. When a vehicle is equipped with recommended front and side airbags, a possible car accident brain injury could be preventable. The risk of injury from an airbag deployment is minimum compared to the permanent effects from a serious brain injury according to information collected by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Back Injuries

Back injuries from car accidents may include a slip disc injury, a minor sprain or fracture or other injuries to the spine or lower back. To prevent a back injury during a car accident, wear a seatbelt to reduce impact.

Face Injuries

Injuries to the face include bruising, scrapes, bone fractures or injury to the jaw or teeth. Most face injuries occur when a person is jolted into a door or window of the car from the impact of a car accident. To avoid injury to the face, react by covering your face with your hands and wrap your head in your arms to act as a helmet.

Neck Injuries

Injuries to the neck can be prevented by wearing a seatbelt with neck restraint. Wearing a seatbelt will reduce spinal disc injury and whiplash.

Foot, Leg or Knee Injuries

Keep your feet flat on the floor with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle to reduce injury.
