Three Common Philadelphia Car Accident Injuries

There are many types of injuries that a Philadelphia car accident victim can suffer in a crash. They range from minor to serious and can include physical and psychological injuries. More importantly, they can lead to a debilitating injury, leaving you with a lifetime of pain and suffering. You might even find yourself unable to earn a living and facing a mountain of medical bills you can’t pay.

Common types of car accident injuries

Again, the list is endless as to the types of car accident injuries you may suffer in a car crash. Three common types of injuries include:

1. Brain and head injuries
2. Neck injuries
3. Back injuries

Brain and head injuries

A brain and head injury can be severe and can be caused when your head hits the steering wheel, dashboard, side window or windshield. Your brain is at risk because an impact can cause your brain to jostle inside your skull.

A brain and head injury can range from a mild concussion to something more serious, such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In more serious cases, the symptoms of a TBI may not appear right away. You may feel fine following an accident, only to learn a few weeks later that you suffered a serious TBI. In some cases, a TBI can prove fatal.

Neck injuries

Neck injuries can be serious as well. A neck injury can result in a lifetime of pain and suffering. Types of neck injuries include:

• Whiplash
• Neck sprains
• Disc injury
• Cervical radiculopathy

Back injuries

Similar to neck injuries, a back injury can impact the rest of your life. You might find yourself unable to perform normal household chores like taking out the trash or emptying the dishwasher. A serious back injury might even prevent you from being able to play with your kids. If you have been involved in a Philadelphia car accident, you might be susceptible to a back injury such as a:

• Sprain
• Strain
• Fracture
• Disc injury

Holding the other party responsible

Whether you have suffered a physical injury or a psychological injury, you might be able to hold the other party responsible for your damages. An experienced Philadelphia car accident attorney can help you build your case and receive the compensation that you and your family deserve.
