Types of Serious Auto Accidents 

Auto accidents that result in serious injuries can happen in many different ways. Auto accidents can occur on busy highways, in neighborhoods, and rural areas. Some types of auto accidents, such as head-on collisions, are more dangerous than other accidents. However, a person can become injured in any type of car accident. Even in a fender bender, a person can experience significant neck injuries such as severe whiplash. We will discuss some of the most dangerous types of motor vehicle accidents, below.

Head-On Collisions 

A head-on collision happens when the front of one vehicle collides with the front of another vehicle. Head-on collisions are some of the most serious types of car accidents. They usually happen when both vehicles are driving at fast speeds. The force of the impact can cause immediate and serious injuries such as head trauma, internal bleeding, spinal cord injuries, bone fractures, and torn ligaments. Head-on collisions are especially dangerous when they involve a large vehicle, such as an SUV or truck.

Rollover Accidents

Rollover accidents occur when one vehicle strikes another and the force of the impact causes the vehicle to roll over once or many times. In rollover accidents, the vehicle’s roof can collapse. The impact of the rollover can crush a vehicle entirely, putting the driver and passengers at risk of head trauma, including traumatic brain injuries. Spinal cord injuries are also common in rollover accidents which can cause permanent paralysis in the form of paraplegia or quadriplegic. When seatbelts do not function properly in a rollover accident, the occupants can be thrown outside the vehicle, causing whiplash due to the severe jolting and shaking the experience. 

Sideswipe Collisions

Sideswipe collisions, also called T-Bone collisions are another common, yet severe type of auto accident. The drivers and passengers are typically in closest proximity to the actual collision during these types of accidents, unlike other types of accidents. As a result, they can suffer severe injuries such as hip fractures, permanent spinal cord damage, shoulder injuries, and internal organ damage.

Common Auto Accident Injuries

Auto accident victims can suffer many different types of injuries. they can have impact injuries when their body or part of their body strikes this steering wheel, dashboard, windshield, or another part of the vehicle. These types of collisions can cause traumatic brain damage ranging from a concussion to a severe traumatic brain injury with life-long consequences. The force of the car accident can cause spinal cord injuries that result in partial or complete paralysis. 

Even though airbags and seatbelts do help prevent serious injury, victims of rear-end and head-on collisions can still suffer life-changing injuries in automobile accidents. If you have been injured in an automobile accident, it is crucial that you undergo medical treatment as soon as possible. Doing so will help you prove that the car accident caused your injuries, helping you obtain the damages you deserve.
