According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, approximately three million people are non fatally injured in a car accident each year in the United States. Costs for medical care from crash related injuries combined with productivity losses topped $75 billion in 2017. Injuries sustained from automobile accidents can result in many injuries which may not even be apparent at the time of the crash.
The most common types of injuries from automobile accidents include whiplash, skull fractures and pelvic fractures with whiplash the most common type of injury incurred by a rear end collision. Whiplash can cause many symptoms, some that may get better after a few weeks, a few months or may linger for many years in severe cases. Whiplash may cause many symptoms:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Tingling or numbness in your arms
- Fatigue
- Loss of range of motion in your neck
- Worsening of pain with neck movement
Some of these symptoms may get better over time, while in other cases whiplash can cause traumatic brain injury that affects your ongoing earning ability and quality of life with symptoms such as:
- Blurred vision
- Ringing in the ears
- Memory problems
- Difficulty concentrating
If you experience any of these symptoms following a car accident it is important to seek medical attention right away and speak with a car accident attorney. Medical expenses may continue after an initial emergency room visit and could develop into long term medical conditions. You may experience ongoing medical expenses, physical therapy, surgery or lost wages. Speak with an experienced auto accident attorney to recover full medical expenses and damages for loss of wages, pain and suffering.
