Being involved in a car accident is a frightening experience that unfortunately nearly everybody goes through. Though the initial impact is scary and painful, the lasting effects of often serious injuries show how dangerous car crashes are. Please read on to learn more about the most common injuries sustained during an auto accident.

• Traumatic brain injury- A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the more serious and often debilitating injuries caused by an auto accident. A TBI can be as mild as a concussion and as serious as an injury that causes major damage to the brain and results in lifelong mental or physical impairment.
• Spinal cord injury- A spinal cord injury is almost always serious and life-changing. Depending on the severity of damage to the spinal cord, the accident victim could suffer permanent loss of motion below the site of the injury. Paralysis is a real danger of serious spinal cord injuries.
• Broken bones and internal damage- These two injuries account for many of the injuries seen after an accident. The force of the body against the inside of the car can cause bones in the arms, legs, pelvis and back to break. Internal injuries can range from minor to life threatening.
