Common Injuries from Car Accidents
Car accidents commonly cause injuries such as whiplash (soft tissue neck injury), back injuries, traumatic brain injury, chest injury, and arm and leg injuries. They all can range in severity, and it isn’t always apparent what injury caused the symptom you are experiencing. Which is why it’s recommended to see a doctor even when a symptom is minor.
