Car Accident Injuries
Overview
Understanding Your Condition
Cost of rehabilitation is often covered 100% by insurance. Car accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to life-threatening conditions. Severity depends on vehicle speed, point of impact, seat belt use, and airbags. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are crucial for the best outcomes.
Causes & Types
- Whiplash: neck injury from rapid back-and-forth head movement, causing neck pain, stiffness, and headaches.
- Concussions: head injuries from a blow or jolt, leading to headaches, confusion, dizziness, and in severe cases loss of consciousness.
- Fractures: broken bones in arms, legs, ribs, and collarbone; in-house X-rays used and orthopedic referral provided if needed.
- Soft tissue injuries: strains, sprains, and contusions of muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
- Chest injuries: broken ribs and internal organ damage from steering wheel or seatbelt impact.
- Cuts and lacerations: wounds from broken glass or debris; referrals provided as needed.
Common Symptoms
- Pain and swelling in the neck, back, chest, and limbs.
- Bruising and discoloration around the impact site.
- Numbness and tingling, especially with nerve or spinal cord injuries.
- Difficulty breathing due to chest injuries.
