What Are The Most Common Types of Auto Accident Injuries?

One of the most common, yet frequently overlooked types of injuries is whiplash. The symptoms of whiplash often include stiffness, aching, and pain; which can be misleading as only being the after-effects of the accident. Other symptoms of whiplash include headaches and decreased range of motion. Injuries to the upper and lower extremities, the head and muscle and ligament injuries are common types of auto accident injury. The spine is highly susceptible to injury, so these injuries are also common in auto accidents.

Should I Wait Until I Have Certain Symptoms Before Getting Treatment?

Absolutely not! There are a wide range of complications that can occur if you put off immediate treatment. For example, the symptoms of whiplash may not appear for days, even weeks after the accident and the longer you put off treatment for whiplash, the greater the risk of symptoms turning into a lifelong problem.
