Car Accidents in Ohio
Thousands of motor vehicle accidents occur across Ohio each year, leaving many people injured. According to the Ohio Department of Public Safety, over 70,000 crashes result in injuries annually. Accidents can happen anywhere, from major highways to parking lots and intersections, and many are caused by preventable factors.
Understanding common injuries from car accidents can help victims recognize the importance of seeking medical care. Here are a few injuries frequently reported:
- Whiplash – A sudden impact can cause the head and neck to jerk forward and back, leading to muscle strain and ligament damage. Whiplash symptoms may not appear immediately, making medical evaluation crucial.
- Broken Bones – The force of a crash can lead to fractures, particularly in the arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones. Recovery can require immobilization, surgery, or physical therapy.
- Head Injuries – Concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can result from a driver or passenger hitting their head on the dashboard, steering wheel, or window. Even mild TBIs can have long-term effects.
- Back Injuries – Damage to the spine, such as herniated discs or spinal cord injuries, can cause chronic pain, limited mobility, or even paralysis in severe cases.
- Internal Injuries – Blunt-force trauma can cause damage to organs, internal bleeding, or other life-threatening conditions. Immediate medical attention is essential.
