Auto accidents can be very stressful both emotionally and physically. With the adrenaline rush that occurs after an accident, you might overlook one of these common auto accident injuries. Here are some of the most common injuries that you may notice after an auto accident.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a common term for muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries that commonly occur in auto accidents. The stress on your body occurs due to the rapid acceleration and deacceleration of an auto accident. It strains the muscles and soft tissues in your body, causing stiffness and soreness in the following days.
Scrapes and Cuts
Depending on the type of accident, you’ll most likely experience a scrape or bruise. The impact on your vehicle or the other vehicle could cause a minor cut or flying debris could hit you. Cuts and scrapes should be taken care of soon after the accident to prevent infection or further injury.
Head Injuries
Head injuries that aren’t treated properly can cause further damage. Long-term damage is a risk if you don’t get yourself checked out after auto accidents. Head injuries can be challenging to diagnose, but you must discuss a treatment plan with your doctor to avoid further damage.
