If you suffer harm in a vehicle wreck, a skilled car crash attorney could help you seek compensation for your injuries. The circumstances of an auto accident vary as greatly as the causes, and bodily harm can come in many forms. There are different effects to different body parts that happen frequently, however. Some of the common injuries that are claimed in a court of law include:

Break or Fracture

Broken bones and fractures can occur virtually anywhere in the skeletal system. There are several types of fractures that occur, from a slight crack to a shattered bone.

Back and Neck Trauma

Injuries in the back or neck can occur in the muscles, bones or tissues. Many such injuries are extremely painful and can limit a person’s mobility. Common forms of trauma to the area include herniated discs, fractures in the vertebrae or sprains and strains.

Dislocated Joints

A dislocation can occur in any joint in the body, and is usually accompanied by acute pain. A dislocation occurs when a bone is forced out of its correct position.

Brain or Spinal Cord Injury

Trauma to the brain or spinal cord is devastating to the central nervous system. These injuries often lead to permanent damage, including loss of mental capacity and paralysis.

Internal Trauma

Internal bleeding and organ trauma are common in high-impact accidents and sometimes go unnoticed. Untreated internal injuries can lead to complications and may result in permanent damage or disability.

Orthopedic Injury

Another type of injury that may occur anywhere in the body, orthopedic trauma includes any damage to the muscles, bones or surrounding tissues. Some examples of musculoskeletal injury include sprains and strains, joint degeneration, whiplash and more.

Psychological Trauma

Psychological injury usually stems from a traumatic event and can be severe enough to alter a person’s life. Damage to a person’s mental state accounted for more than 25% of injuries recorded in 2012.

In severe accidents, a combination of injuries can be inflicted. Even minor injuries, if left untreated, can become a burden to a victim later on in life. It is imperative for anyone who has been involved in an accident to seek immediate medical treatment.
