Car accidents can happen at any time and can lead to serious and life-threatening injuries in some cases. When a car is struck by another car, a truck, a motorcycle or even a non-motorized object, the damage can extend beyond the vehicle, and have a lasting effect on the driver and passengers.

Injuries suffered in an automobile accident can be varied and include:

• Neck injuries – including pain due to “whiplash” or intervertebral disc bulging or herniations as well as fractures.
• Head injuries – including concussions and brain injuries or skull fractures.
• Back injuries – pain or swelling to the soft tissue of the back, as well as fractures of vertebrae and injuries to the spinal column requiring surgery.
• Fractures – Bone fractures can occur in the limbs, hands, feet, ankles, clavicles, ribs or in any part of the body subjected to the pressure or sudden “jolt” of an accident.
• Organs – there is always a possibility of internal bleeding and organ damage when the body is subjected to stressed caused by an automobile accident.
• Joint injuries – Can include torn ACL, torn MCL, torn meniscus, torn ligaments in the shoulder.  Often times the injuries result in surgeries.
