Common Injury Types Resulting from Motor Vehicle Crashes in Georgia
All types of injuries are possible in motor vehicle accidents. They can be minor, serious, catastrophic, or even fatal. We have experience with a range of injuries, including:
- Soft tissue injuries: Damage to the muscles, ligaments, and tendons is the most common injury suffered in vehicle accidents. Whiplash is a type of soft-tissue injury which is named for the whip-like motion of the head and neck that occurs in rear-end collisions.
- Lacerations and abrasions: Loose items in the vehicle can fly around in a collision and hit the body, causing cuts and other damage. Cuts and scrapes can also happen when air bags deploy, or from broken glass in the vehicle.
- Head and brain injuries: Impact with a side window, steering wheel, or other object in the vehicle can cause serious head and brain injuries. The unnatural motion of the head and the body from the force of a collision and sudden stop of the vehicle can also jostle the brain inside the skull and cause injury.
- Chest injuries: As drivers are confined behind the steering wheel, the chest can collide with the steering wheel in a crash. Even when there is no impact with the dash or the steering wheel, the force of the body being thrown forward in a collision can cause injury to the chest area from the shoulder harness or seat belt.
- Arm and leg injuries: Knees can be injured when they hit the dashboard or the seat in front in a crash. Arms and legs can be thrown hard against the door in a T-bone collision. Arms and legs can be sprained, bruised, or fractured.
