Some of the most common injuries caused by car accidents include whiplash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and internal organ damage. Whiplash, a sudden back-and-forth movement of the neck, can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues. Broken bones, such as arm, leg, or rib fractures, often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. Traumatic brain injuries, ranging from concussions to severe brain damage, can have long-lasting cognitive, physical, and emotional effects.

Spinal cord injuries, which can result in paralysis, and internal organ damage, such as to the lungs or liver, can be life-threatening. These types of injuries often require ongoing medical care, specialized equipment, and significant lifestyle adjustments, placing a heavy financial burden on the victim and their family.
