One of the leading causes of injuries in the United States is car accidents. There are over five million accidents a year with around 2 million people injured.
People suffer from many different types of injuries due to a car accident but one of the most serious is a head injury. Drivers and passengers who are injured in a high speed accident can hit their heads against the steering wheel, dashboard, windows or roof of the vehicle which can cause traumatic brain injuries. If the blow is not too hard, there may simply be a mild concussion but if the injury is severe it can lead to coma, lasting problems and even death.
If the head hits something with force there can also be a skull fracture or problems with hearing or vision.
Another type of injury which is common in car accident is a back injury. Any damage to the spinal cord can harm the nerves which lead to a loss of feeling and control of arms, legs, hands or feet. If the damage is severe it can lead to people being paralyzed for life.
