Some of the most common injuries affect the bones, muscles, and surface tissues of the body. Examples include whiplash, broken/fractured bones, torn ligaments, bruising, and lacerations.
Neurological injuries are those that affect brain and neural tissues. Examples include brain damage, concussion, nerve damage, and paralysis. Neurological injuries are common in accidents involving head or spinal injuries.
Injuries that affect the internal organs can be particularly dangerous. Internal organ injuries can include hemorrhaging (bleeding), organ lacerations, punctured/collapsed lungs, and crushed organs.
This refers to non-physical injuries that affect a person’s mental and emotional state in a way that negatively impacts their life. Some victims develop mental health conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or anxiety. Even without a mental health diagnosis, victims often experience emotional stress (referred to as “pain and suffering”).
Some injuries lead to long-term problems such as chronic pain, paralysis (partial or total), and other permanent, debilitating conditions. If a body part is lost in an accident or needs to be amputated, this can also create lifelong challenges.
