Common Auto Accident Injuries

Neck, back, joint, spine, or soft tissue injuries can occur depending on the nature of the accident. They include bone fracture, dislocated shoulder, spinal cord compression, seatbelt bruises, concussions, contusions, and muscle strains, sprains, or tears. Sometimes a "simple" fender-bender can misalign the spine or cause other non-obvious bodily damage. For example, whiplash is a neck injury that may dislocate the joints, herniate the discs, or damage the connective tissue in the cervical spine. Yet, pain and other symptoms may not present until 24 hours, days, weeks, or months later.

Signs and Symptoms of An Auto Accident Injury

An auto accident is a traumatic event that causes both physical and psychological effects. Here are some indications of an injury or trauma:

  • Visible joint deformity
  • Mild to severe neck, back, leg, or joint pain
  • Fatigue, anxiety, or trouble sleeping
  • Headaches, dizziness, or blurry vision
  • Pain in the shoulder, chest, arm, hand, or hip
  • Swelling, stiffness, body aches, or decreased mobility
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the upper or lower extremities
